USMNT’s path through the Knockout Round includes a potential game in DFW, contingent on their standing in Group D, with much to be settled after Friday’s matches.<\/p>\n

ARLINGTON, Texas \u2014 Could the USA play in Dallas during the Knockout Round? Yes! But when?<\/p>\n

With the USMNT’s 2-0 win over Australia<\/a>, the United States now sits alone in first place in Group D and they have officially earned a spot in the Knockout Round.<\/p>\n
