On July 2nd, the host US team defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32, successfully advancing to the Round of 16. This victory not only helped the team continue to move towards higher goals but also brought the US team a significant record – it was their first time in 24 years to defeat a UEFA team in a FIFA World Cup match.

Data shows that the last time the US team beat a UEFA team in the FIFA World Cup was in the group stage of the 2002 Korea-Japan FIFA World Cup, when they defeated Portugal 3-2. Since then, for four consecutive FIFA World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014, 2022), the US team struggled to win against European opponents, and were even eliminated by European teams in the knockout stages multiple times.
