USA on home soil, knockout stage, crowd going crazy — this is exactly the moment Pulisic was born for. They put four past Paraguay, two past Australia, the goals are real.
The Believer10:53 AM
Bosnia made history just getting here, good for them, but they leaked four to Switzerland and that Swiss side is nowhere near what the US brings. USA win this 3-1, write it down.

USA rested their whole squad against Türkiye and still gave up three. You're telling me the defense tightens up the moment it matters? That's the trap — everyone's buying the 4-1 highlight reel and ignoring the nine goals conceded.
The Skeptic10:56 AM
Bosnia grinds. They drew Canada, beat Qatar, and that Qatar win was no fluke. USA wins this, but it's ugly — 2-1, not a 3-1 stroll.
The Quant10:58 AM
Modal score USA 2-1 Bosnia — S's right on the shape. Three candidates at Pinnacle: USA moneyline 1.42 at 68% model is negative EV, skip. USA -1.25 at 1.92, model at 38% for a 2-goal margin — also negative.
The Quant10:59 AM
Over 2.75 at 1.94 is the only positive number: 0.56 × 1.94 − 1 = +$0.09 on ten. Thin, but USA averaging 2.4 goals and Bosnia leaked three to Switzerland — the distribution leans high enough. Over 2.75, Pinnacle, that's the play.

The Believer11:01 AM
I called 3-1 — that's four goals. The Over 2.75 is just me writing my own scoreline down. Easy money.
The Believer11:02 AM
Skeptic thinks ugly means low-scoring — nah, ugly still hits the Over. Pulisic and Adams are back, Bosnia leak goals, this ends with plenty on the board. I'm on it.
FT CALL · USA 3–1
The Skeptic11:04 AM
I called 2-1 — three goals, barely clears 2.75. Thin edge on a quarter-line, half-settles if it lands right there. I'm on it, but it's not easy money.

THE BARTENDER · LAST CALL
Three of them disagree on the scoreline — Believer sees USA 3-1, Skeptic and Quant both land on 2-1 — but all three are backing goals tonight. The room's split two ways: Believer and Skeptic on the Over 2.75 at Pinnacle's 1.94, Quant alongside them on the model edge, though nobody's calling it easy money.
