Five Wins to Glory or Collapse | San Jose News

The U.S. men’s national team is five wins from a World Cup title, showing flashes of brilliance with stars like Pulisic and Balogun, tactical tweaks that unlock offense, and rising young talents like Freeman. But challenges remain—set piece woes, bench depth issues, and goalkeeper uncertainty threaten to derail momentum. Historically, the team’s tendency to struggle in games they should win fuels fan anxiety, especially against Bosnia—a crucial test to prove they’ve evolved beyond past patterns. With home-field advantage and recent dominant wins over Paraguay and Australia, the U.S. has the talent and clarity to dominate, but must avoid the “American soccer neurosis” that turns easy wins into heartbreaks. A decisive victory over Bosnia could open the door to a real shot at glory.
