## Resource

How far can Pulisic take the USMNT if he’s 100% back? The U.S. Men’s National Team enter their Round of 32 matchup versus Bosnia and Herzegovina with something very few teams in the tournament can claim - a settled Best XI. Pochettino’s men may have stumbled in their last group stage game but got valuable minutes for Christian Pulisic who looks fully fit and ready to take the USMNT into uncharted territory. Herculez Gomez and Sebi Salazar analyze whether the US have the physical edge to break down a resilient Bosnian side, looking at which players, such as goalkeeper Matt Freese and Wisconsin-born Bosnian player Esmir Bajraktarevic, could be the difference makers for this game. Plus, are the rumors surrounding Mauricio Pochettino and a potential contract extension with US Soccer a distraction or a sign of confidence in this team’s path ahead?
