Summary
The U.S. men’s soccer team stunned the world by advancing to the knockout stage after a 2-0 win over Australia — their fastest-ever World Cup progression. Without star striker Christian Pulisic (out with a calf injury), the squad proved its depth, scoring early via an own-goal and sealing it with a stunning header from 21-year-old Alex Freeman, son of NFL legend Antonio Freeman. This marks a historic leap for the team, who’ve never before advanced after just two games — and never hosted the tournament while doing so. With grit, grit, and grit, they’re proving they can go deep — even without their biggest name. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
