VANCOUVER, July 1 : Sweden's World Cup came to an abrupt and inevitable end at the hands of Kylian Mbappe and a French side who are among the favourites to win the whole tournament, but after treading a rocky road to get to the finals, the path forward has become a little clearer for Graham Potter and his team.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — U.S. men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino said Wednesday's round-of-32 match against Bosnia-Herzegovina will be like «the final of the World Cup,» and that if the U.S. is to progress to the round of 16, «we need to perform at our best.»

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ: Kylian Mbappe scored his 17th and 18th career World Cup goals to keep chasing Lionel Messi and tournament history in France’s 3-0 victory over Sweden in Tuesday’s round of 32 clash. Mbappe is now one behind Messi on the all-time tournament list, and with his fifth and sixth goals of this year’s tournament has pulled even with the 39-year-old in the Golden Boot chase. Messi and Argentina face Cape Verde on Friday in Miami Gardens, Florida, in their round of 32 meeting. Bradley Barcola added his second of the tournament after halftime as the two- time World Cup champions continued their dominant form, having won all four of their tournament matches by a combined 13-2 margin. Michael Olize had two assists in Tuesday’s victory, which marked the tournament’s first round of 32 match (out of six played) decided by more than one goal. Manager Didier Deschamps’ side will next play on Saturday in Philadelphia against Paraguay, who shocked four-time champions Germany on penalties following a 1-1 draw on Monday in Foxborough, Mass. Sweden are eliminated following one of the more turbulent World Cup stays in recent memory, defeating Tunisia 5-1 and then losing to the Netherlands by the same score before drawing their group finale 1-1 against Japan to reach the knockout phase. It was their first time advancing from a group in a major tournament since the 2020 European Championships (played in 2021).

SAN JOSE, California, June 30 : With two last-32 World Cup matches already decided by penalty shootouts, the topic of spot kicks inevitably came up when the United States team faced the media on Tuesday ahead of their game with Bosnia.
