Cumulative crowds of 200,000+ witnessed USA's three FIFA World Cup group matches in SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles) and Lumen Field (Seattle) and the USMNT fanatics will continue to pack the venues whenever and wherever the Stars and Stripes are in action.
Mauricio Pochettino’s squad demonstrated immense mental fortitude in the Round of 32, grinding out a gritty 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina despite playing a man down following Folarin Balogun's dramatic red card.
Sealed by Malik Tillman's spectacular free-kick, the statement win snapped a historic hoodoo against European sides in the knockout stages. Fueled by the belief of a nation and the electric energy of the Pacific Northwest, the co-hosts are primed to lean on their high-pressing intensity to rewrite history and secure a quarterfinal berth.

What to expect from United States in the World Cup 2026?
The United States progressed from its group, when hosting the 1994 World Cup, before bowing out bravely in the Round of 16 to eventual World Cup winners Brazil. Bebeto’s second-half strike was all that separated the sides.
The Stars and Stripes have come on leaps and bounds since then, qualifying for every World Cup bar the 2018 one. They reached the Round of 16 stage on three further occasions (2010, 2014 & 2022) and surprised many by getting to the quarter-finals in 2002.
USMNT will be hoping for further improvement under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino. They made a huge statement of intent when appointing the former Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea boss in September 2024.
