The U.S. men’s national team is two for two. The one and only previous time the nation won both opening matches of a World Cup was back in 1930, while the Stars and Stripes hadn’t—until now—won more than a single game during a group stage over the past 96 years.
Following last week’s 4–1 demolition of Paraguay, Mauricio Pochettino’s team put Australia to the sword, winning 2–0 at Lumen Field in the afternoon Seattle sunshine.
