Bosnia out of World Cup after US record-breaker

World Cup exit in the round of 32

Your World Cup is over. The United States beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 2–0 on Wednesday in the round of 32 (1) (3) (4). Malik Tillman scored from a direct free-kick, the first USMNT free-kick goal in a competitive match since 2017 (2). Folarin Balogun added the second. No way back. It ends here.

A record night for US television

This one stings for more than the scoreline. The match drew 33.5 million viewers in the United States, the most-watched football broadcast in American TV history (1) (3). Fox pulled 24.4 million on its own, with Telemundo adding roughly 9 million more (1). Your team walked into a moment the US will talk about for decades.

Fan-reaktioner

The mood on r/soccer is sober but reflective. One user noted the combined 33.5 million figure, calling it staggering for a round of 32 match. Another surfaced a clip of Edin Džeko colliding with Tyler Adams, a moment that captured the physical cost of the night. The Americans, meanwhile, were celebrating, Weston McKennie posted a dressing-room rendition of Wagon Wheel after the win. See the full viewership thread.
