Master M: USA (★★★★)

USA, one of the host nations, recorded 2 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, securing the top spot before the final round. Their loss to Turkiye was largely due to squad rotation. Over the three group matches, USA scored a total of 8 goals, setting a new team record for goals in a single World Cup. Heading into the knockout stage against Bosnia and Herzegovina in mediocre form, USA, with home advantage, are expected to advance smoothly.
