World Cup 2026: USA defeats Australia 2-0 to advance to knockout round despite Christian Pulisic absence

SEATTLE — In so many ways, this second U.S. World Cup adventure was much like the first.

An early own goal.

A killer goal just before halftime.

An energetic, connected and confident performance before an appreciative audience that, like much of the soccer world, is beginning to believe Mauricio Pochettino's crew is for real.

To win or lose a game 1:0 because of an own goal never feels good to me.
