FIFA World Cup

Brazil will next play Croatia on Friday.

The two teams will now face each other next weekend.

The U.S. not only had the second-youngest roster in Qatar, but played the four youngest starting lineups in the tournament. It's a squad of rising talent.

It was a disappointing end for a rebuilt U.S. team hoping to advance past the round of 16 for the first time since 2002.

"We’re moving in the right direction, for sure, but we need to keep pushing, because we’re not there yet," US captain Tyler Adams said after the team's knockout loss.

Despite Friday's loss, Portugal won Group H for the first time since 2006. South Korea, which is through to the knockout stage on the goals scored tiebreaker, is the group's runner-up.

Louis van Gaal said his Netherlands squad has been hit with a "worrying" influenza outbreak ahead of its World Cup round of 16 clash against the United States on Saturday.

The 82-year-old Pelé, who had a colon tumor removed last year, was hospitalized Tuesday in Sao Paulo to regulate his medication.

Christian Pulisic has been cleared to play for the United States in its World Cup round of 16 match against the Netherlands on Saturday.

Both Croatia and Morocco advanced to the last 16 on Thursday and Germany was unfortunately eliminated from the world tournament despite a 4-2 win over Costa Rica.

Christian Pulisic might be "Captain America", but Tyler Adams is the USMNT's clear leader at the World Cup.

Goals from Henry Martín and Luis Chávez were not enough to take El Tri to the round of 16 for the eighth straight time as Group C's second qualifying spot looked destined to be determined in perhaps the most painful way possible.

Rest easy, soccer fans. Lionel Messi will grace the World Cup stage at least one more time. Meanwhile, Mexico's win over Saudi Arabia was not enough to advance to the next round.

French referee Stéphanie Frappart will become the first woman to take charge of a men’s World Cup game.
