Fans react to USMNT qualifying for World Cup knockouts

The news of the USA’s qualification to the round of 16 has sent shockwaves around the world. They failed to qualify for the world cup last time. However, after a massive overhaul, they have assembled a team that can be the best in the world in the coming future. Soccer fans took to Twitter to react to USA’s qualification.

Following are some of the reactions to the big result:

The USA will now face the Netherlands in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup. However, it is worth noting that they only conceded one goal in their past three group-stage games. The USMNT hasn’t yet conceded a goal from open play in the tournament. It also shows the team’s quality during the competition.

The USMNT has a young and dynamic side that can put in shifts during the game and make it hard for the opponents. England, who scored six goals past Iran in their opening WC game, couldn’t do much against a solid US defense. However, Gregg Berhalter’s side still needs to work on their finishing as they progress to the next round.
