About this match

The USA and Australia have never faced each other at a World Cup, but they share the experience of being sporting powerhouses where football has historically taken a back seat — behind basketball and American football in the US, rugby and cricket in Australia. At the 2022 World Cup, both teams advanced to the knockout stage: the Americans fell in the round of 16 to the Netherlands 3-1, and the Socceroos were eliminated by Messi's Argentina 2-1. With Pulisic leading the hosts and Australia bringing the grit of perennial underdogs, it is a duel between two rising football nations.
