Summary
A 2-0 win over Australia sent the United States into the World Cup knockout stage after just two matches and locked in a July 1 Round of 32 game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
Six points from that victory and a 4-1 opening win over Paraguay guaranteed advancement regardless of the Americans' final group match against Turkey.
Paraguay's later win over Turkey confirmed the U.S. as Group D winner, which means it will face a third-place team rather than another group winner or runner-up.
That opponent will come from Group B, E, F, I or J, leaving possibilities that include teams such as Canada, Germany, Japan, France and Argentina as the group stage finishes.
