who could usa play in knockout stage 32

USA’s Round of 32 opponent is Bosnia and Herzegovina, so that is who they could play next in the knockout stage. The match is set for July 1 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Knockout path

If the U.S. wins that match, the next step would be the Round of 16, where the opponent would depend on the other bracket result. Current projections point to Belgium or South Korea as the likely next challenge if things hold.

Why this matters

Because the U.S. finished as a group winner, its Round of 32 matchup comes from the third-place pool rather than a group runner-up. That’s why Bosnia and Herzegovina emerged as the confirmed opponent.

TL;DR

USA plays Bosnia and Herzegovina first in the knockout stage, with a possible Round of 16 matchup against Belgium or South Korea if it advances.
