US manager Mauricio Pochettino wants the nation to believe in his team

Key Points:

• Canada achieved its first-ever World Cup win, and Mexico became the first team to secure a spot in the knockout rounds, while attention now focuses on the US Men's National Team (USMNT) ahead of their second match against Australia.

• The USMNT will face Australia in Seattle, with star player Christian Pulisic's fitness uncertain due to a minor injury; a win would guarantee US advancement to the Round of 32 and potentially top their group.
