USA World Cup soccer team learns likely Round of 32 opponent, and draw looks favorable

The United States Men's National Team's path to a World Cup title just got a little bit more clear.

According to The Athletic, there is now greater than a 99% chance that the U.S. will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 next week after the latter's 3-1 victory over Qatar on Wednesday.

After winning Group D last week, the U.S. was set to face the third-place finisher of another group — Bosnia and Herzegovina's victory clinched third place in Group B, and thus an all-but-confirmed date with the Stars and Stripes.
