USA will look to complete a co-host hat-trick in the last 32 of the FIFA World Cup 2026 — and you can live stream USMNT's clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina around the world for free.
After watching Canada and Mexico already reach the last 16, Mauricio Pochettino's side are aiming to make it three wins out of three for the host nations. A 3-2 defeat by Turkey in their final Group D game dented USA's momentum a little, albeit with a much-changed starting XI. Folarin Balogun, Christian Pulisic and Tyler Adams should return at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, as USA attempt to do something they have managed just once before: win a World Cup knockout game. Their only previous victory was back in 2002, against Mexico in the last 16.
This is Bosnia's first-ever World Cup knockout match in their second finals, having fallen at the group stage in 2014. They booked their place in the last 32, as one of the best third-place teams, with a 3-1 win over Qatar in their final Group B game. Kerim Alajbegovic's stunner got them up and running and the 18-year-old will again be key, while manager Sergej Barbarez will also look to captain and talisman Edin Dzeko, who is just the 22 years older than Alajbegovic. Tarik Muharemovic is available again following a one-match ban.
