In the group stages, the U.S. powered through and had no troubles until their final match against Turkey. While they didn’t start their main squad of players to begin the match, the Stars and Stripes were downed 3-2 on a goal that came with the final kick of the game. The Americans were still able to finish atop Group D, but the undefeated title was gone.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the other hand, qualified as one of the eight best third-place teams. In Group B, the Europeans won, drew, and lost a game against Qatar, Canada, and Switzerland. They have scored at least one goal in every match at the 2026 World Cup, so the U.S. will need to limit their carelessness and avoid awarding corner kicks to a taller opponent.
The winner of Wednesday night’s match will face the victor that came out of the Belgium vs. Senegal match earlier that day.
