This Saturday at 10:00 AM EST, the United States will attempt to advance in the round of 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup when they face the Netherlands.
Now that the World Cup has narrowed down to its final 16 teams, there is no longer any margin for error for Team USA as the tournament is single-elimination, where losers are sent packing immediately.
Draws are also no longer an option, as games will go to extra minutes or penalty kicks, if necessary, to decide the winner of the contest.
Even though a tie is technically not possible, legal soccer betting sites still have an option for laying some action on a draw because all wagers are decided at the conclusion of the 90-minute duration of the game.

The United States has never won the World Cup and has yet to advance to the final match. Soccer, or futbol, has never been a top sport in the USA, despite several attempts to popularize the game.
Still, that raised awareness in recent decades has elevated the play of the United States in international competition. Is Team USA a legit contender for a World Cup Championship in 2022?
The odds posted at the betting sites included in our list of online sportsbook reviews suggest that they’ve got a fighting chance, but that journey must begin with a victory over the Netherlands in three days.
