USA will play Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. The stadium is currently being referred to as the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium due to FIFA's branding restrictions.
The USA Men's National Team is coming off a dramatic 3-2 stoppage-time loss against Turkey during the final game of the group stages.
The team still topped Group D and secured its spot in the knockout stages. They'll be playing a Bosnia and Herzegovina team that appeared to find its form in a 4-1 stomping against Qatar on Wednesday.
