The United States and the Netherlands will vie for the opportunity to play in the quarterfinals of the World Cup on Saturday. The loser will go home.

The U.S. men's team is feeling good going into its monumental matchup with The Netherlands in the World Cup knockout round.

DOHA, Qatar — (AP) — Having scored the winning goal for the United States against Iran, Christian Pulisic watched the final minutes from a hospital on a mobile phone. Pulisic said he took a knee to the pelvic bone and not the genitals. “This team helps me so much to take the pressure off of me,” Pulisic said. If the U.S. beats the Netherlands, they would reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002 and face Argentina or Australia. ___AP World Cup coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/world-cup and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsCopyright 2022 The Associated Press.

USMNT forward Tim Weah visited the FOX Sports set in Doha to discuss his World Cup goal, the team's huge win over Iran and more!

A friend of Iranian midfielder Saeid Ezatolahi was shot and killed by his country's security forces after the team's loss to the United States at the World Cup on Tuesday, a group of human rights activists told The Guardian. Per the Center for Human Rights in Iran via the Guardian, Samak had been celebrating the World Cup loss, which clinched the U.S.'s advance into the knockout stages of the tournament and sent Iran home. Per local journalists, some Iranians have been celebrating the loss as a blow to Iran's government, which has been attempting to suppress the protests sparked Mahsa Amini. Amini was arrested by Iran's morality police in September for violating the country's dress code, specifically not wearing a hijab. #IranvsUSA pic.twitter.com/qxlLhuMIYz — Omid Djalili (@omid9) November 30, 2022Iran's story at the World Cup is now over, but there is clearly much more to be concerned about in the country itself.

Several members of Team USA spoke on an emotional moment shared with Iran's Saeid Ezatolahi following Tuesday's match.

Christian Pulisic's first World Cup goal came at the most opportune time as his score in the first half against Iran proved to the difference-maker through the first 45 minutes.

The U.S. will play England at 2 p.m. ET on Friday in Qatar, with Weah's parents in the stands. His father, George Weah, was a star player in the '90s but never made it to the World Cup himself.

The USMNT is a long shot to beat England in its World Cup match on Friday — and the Americans are comfortable with the role.

AL RAYYAN, Qatar — (AP) — Gareth Bale converted a penalty kick in the 82nd minute to offset Tim Weah's first-half goal and give Wales a 1-1 draw Monday in the return to the World Cup for both nations. Back in the World Cup after missing the 2018 tournament, the United States appeared headed to victory. Bale put his kick to the left of goalkeeper Matt Turner’s outstretched arm for his 41st goal in 109 international appearances, salvaging a point for Wales in its first World Cup match since 1958. DeAndre Yedlin, who entered in the 74th minute, was the only American player with previous World Cup experience. ___AP World Cup coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/world-cup and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsCopyright 2022 The Associated Press.

The eight-year wait for their World Cup return is over. Sarachan introduced droves of young players to the national team environment, and some became stars. It was almost like you were going to national team camp for fun.”A protracted coaching search landed on Gregg Berhalter. And early on, he encountered the same problem that had doomed the 2018 World Cup cycle: He didn’t have the necessary players. That day, conventional wisdom predicted, could come in 2026, when the World Cup will come to home soil, and when this group of early-20-somethings will be in their prime.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup continues Monday with group stage play, as the United States is taking on Wales. Here are the top plays!

With a few key players still not 100%, Gregg Berhalter might have to make tough calls with his starting lineup vs. Wales. Here's who our soccer experts think will be in the first XI.

During the World Cup, a standard one-bedroom costs $5,163 per night. The USMNT specifically selected it, and snapped it up before any competitors could, more than two years before they'd even qualified for this World Cup. Liverpool reportedly rejected a chance to stay at it during the 2019 Club World Cup, citing ethical concerns. Less than a year before the World Cup, a security subcontractor was violating laws and workers' rights. Because this is not a typical World Cup that requires intra-country travel.

Tim Weah is entering the World Cup in Qatar doing something his father was never able to do for his home country -- play in the biggest tournament on glove.

Tim Weah's father, George, is the president of Liberia and a former Ballon d'Or winner. But he never got a chance to play in a World Cup, as his son soon will.

Tim Weah will dazzle with his blistering speed at the World Cup, Laken Litman writes.

A month ago Sunday, the U.S. men's national team lost 2-0 to Japan, and its World Cup outlook seemed alarming bleak. It managed just two shots on target and zero goals in its last two games before jetting off to Qatar. And then, on Saturday, Gio Reyna announced his return from his latest injury scare with a cathartic goal for Borussia Dortmund. And yet he has hardly made an impact for the USMNT over the past year as he battled maddening injury after maddening injury. The single most important indicator of World Cup performance will be the performance of two dozen American players in the month leading up to the USMNT's Nov. 21 opener.

Christian Pulisic and Ricardo Pepi will join the U.S. starting lineup for the Americans’ last World Cup warmup against Saudi Arabia after coach Gregg Berhalter admitted “we got our butts kicked” by Japan last week.

For the latest updates, highlights and analysis from the match, you can follow along with Yahoo Sports right here. To that end, the two big questions Berhalter must answer: Who will start alongside Christian Pulisic in attack? With Pulisic, Weah and Musah out, the U.S. will trial something of a Plan B against Japan. Chris Richards and Cameron Carter-Vickers, two strong candidates to start at center back, pulled out of this final training camp due to injury. They will have to prove that, as a duo, they have enough recovery speed to function in the Berhalter's high-pressing system.

NEW YORK — (AP) — Nike released the United States' World Cup jerseys Thursday, including a mostly white design for home matches that was criticized in advance by a pair of American players and some fans. The home jerseys have red and blue stripes on each sleeve, somewhat similar to the stripes down each side of the Americans' 2002 World Cup uniforms. “I am one of those people who have been long in the team Waldo camp for it being a permanent national team jersey.

U.S. captain Christian Pulisic was critical of the level of American support from the crowd of 19,512 at TQL Stadium during a 3-0 win over Morocco on in the first of four World Cup warmup matches in June.

Bayern Munich midfielder Malik Tillman is switching affiliation from Germany to the United States and is among 27 players invited to the Americans’ next-to-last training camp ahead of the World Cup.

“The guys have told us, that have been here and through this path before, that we thought we qualified last World Cup," midfielder Tyler Adams said Wednesday. Because the Americans have a plus-13 goal difference and Costa Rica is at plus-three, the U.S. could be denied only by a defeat of at least six goals. “The media has classified us as the golden generation and the generation that’s going to qualify for the next World Cup,” 22-year-old winger Tim Weah said. "We’re coming here to be aggressive in the game and to win the soccer game. and Berhalter planned to contact those not in Costa Rica to congratulate them.

American soccer’s harrowing memory of the loss in Trinidad 4 1/2 years ago remains omnipresent, if no longer raw.

Christian Pulisic had the best U.S. chances but was twice denied by goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa. Zack Steffen got the start over Ethan Hovath and came away with his second shutout against Mexico in qualifying. The draw, the third straight in qualifying for the U.S. in the thin air of 7,200-foot elevation Azteca, was costly. The U.S. maintained second place in North and Central America and the Caribbean with 22 points, four behind Canada, and ahead of Mexico on goal difference. Yedlin received his second yellow for an unecessary slide tackle in midfield in the 26th minute, leaving the U.S. short at right back for Sunday.

The United States escaped a half-full Estadio Azteca with a gritty 0-0 draw against Mexico and moved into position to all but clinch a World Cup berth with a victory at home against Panama this weekend.

Zack Steffen was in goal as U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter used an “A” team lineup and changed five starters for a World Cup qualifier against Mexico at Estadio Azteca.

The U.S. could clinch a return to soccer’s World Cup with two games to spare if it wins in Mexico City, Panama loses at home to last-place Honduras and Costa Rica fails to win at home against first-place Canada.

Gio Reyna, Jordan Pefok and Ethan Horvath are back for the United States’ final World Cup qualifiers but Sergiño Dest appears likely to miss the three games.

That was McKennie’s ninth international goal, his second in World Cup qualifying, and it would prove to be enough. The ball glanced off Zimmerman’s left leg, and he kicked it in with his right from 5 yards for his third international goal. Pulisic scored about three minutes after entering. He scored from near the penalty spot with his second touch of the game — his 18th international goal. Notes: Costa Rica won 1-0 at Jamaica as Joel Campbell scored his 22nd international goal in the 62nd minute.

Christian Pulisic was benched as U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter changed seven starters for a World Cup qualifier against Honduras in chilly St. Paul, where the temperature at kickoff was 3 degrees (minus-16 Celsius) with a minus-14 windchill.

Midfielders and defenders are the players providing the goals the United States needs to reach the World Cup.

El Salvador is left with six and has virtually no chance to reach this year’s tournament in Qatar. The U.S. Soccer Federation scheduled the match in a cold climate to minimize travel and put the chill on El Salvador, which went to a sporting goods store to purchase additional winter gear. The Americans’ 15th straight home win over El Salvador since 1989 didn’t come easily. They outshot El Salvador 8-3 in the first half but put none on target.

On the disallowed goal, Jamaica coach Theodore Whitmore didn't have a good view from the sideline. CONCACAF does not use video review in World Cup qualifiers. With Jamaica playing on the 24th anniversary of clinching its only World Cup appearance, Antonio scored the longest-distance goal in the final round of CONCACAF qualifying.

Pulisic scored on his very first touch in the 74th minute, Weston McKennie added a goal in the 85th and the Americans beat Mexico 2-0 Friday night in a World Cup qualifier — the "Dos a Cero" scoreline that became traditional early in the 21st century. The U.S. won four straight home qualifiers against Mexico by 2-0, all at Columbus, Ohio, before falling 2-1 in November 2016 at Crew Stadium. That started the skid that led to the Americans missing the 2018 World Cup.

Twenty-nine players have started, five more than the American total during the 10 matches of the 2018 qualifying hexagonal.

He tied it when Weston McKennie passed to Dest, who dished to Weah. Costa Rica, an aged team with a starting lineup that averaged more then 30 years old, has seven points. The Ticos scored after Steffen, the backup to Ederson at Manchester City, headed the ball to the right flank but over Dest. Weah switched the ball to Musah on the right flank, and he passed to Dest. Dest curled the ball around Mattarita with a left-foot shot just beyond the right hand of Navas for his second international goal.

PANAMA CITY, Panama — (AP) — The United States changed seven starters for Sunday night’s World Cup qualifier against Panama, inserting forward Gyasi Zardes along with midfielders Kellyn Acosta, Sebastian Lletget and winger Tim Weah. Right back Shaq Moore, central defender Mark McKenzie and left back George Bello also were in the lineup. Returning from the lineup that started Thursday’s 2-0 win over Jamaica were goalkeeper Matt Turner, central defender Walker Zimmerman, midfielder Yunus Musah and winger Paul Arriola. Acosta played his 19th consecutive national team match, the longest streak since 35 by Landon Donovan from 2001-03. Turner’s 11 straight games in goal is the most since Brad Guzan in 2015 and four shy of the record set by Tony Meola from 1990-91.

Yunus Musah visited New York in June with teammate Tim Weah and had a wide-eyed view of the big city. “I remember going to the — what’s that called — that big tall building?” Musah said with a chuckle. “The view from there was crazy,” Musah said.
