Bajraktarević stands between the US and the last 16

Bajraktarević is the name to know

Esmir Bajraktarević grew up in Wisconsin. Tomorrow night he lines up against the US in a World Cup knockout decider (1) (2). The 21-year-old winger chose Bosnia over the country he was born in, and he is already their hero at this tournament. He plays with a directness that turns games.

Win and you are through. Simple.

The US face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the final Group D match Wednesday. A win puts you into the round of 16. The math is clean after beating Paraguay and Australia (1). Pulisic is back in training after his calf issue and expected to feature. The knockouts start here.
