The USMNT's six points are their most-ever in a group stage, despite having only played two matches. Under head coach Mauricio Pochettino, they've won consecutive World Cup matches for the first time since 1930.
The USMNT will take on the third-place team from Group B, E, F, I, or J, on July 1 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
