## Resource

The knockout stage is here. U.S. Soccer Podcast presented by Henkel host Meghan Klingenberg and David Gass break down the USMNT's Round of 32 matchup with Bosnia and Herzegovina, what Mauricio Pochettino's side can expect tactically, and the path that could take the United States all the way to the quarterfinals and beyond. Brenden Aaronson joins the show to discuss getting married just before the FIFA World Cup, the story behind wearing No. 11, and the advice helping him enjoy every moment of the tournament. Then Max Arfsten reflects on his rapid rise to the World Cup roster, the chemistry inside the squad, learning Spanish in camp, and what representing the United States means to him. Plus, in Ask the Pros presented by O'Reilly Auto Parts, Meghan and David answer listener questions about the future of the women's game ahead of Brazil 2027 and explain how modern fullbacks like Sergiño Dest and Antonee "Jedi" Robinson impact the USMNT.
