Why we called it
Pochettino's USA won Group D with a clear identity (the Freeman-Dest-McKennie right side) and at home in Santa Clara Opta rates them at 67.5% — clear but not overwhelming favourites. Bosnia, led by veteran Džeko, came through as a third-placed side but are fragile at the back: that justifies a US goal, while Džeko remains a threat. A one-goal margin: 2-1, in keeping with a tight knockout tie.
