The barnstorming US performance in the World Cup group stage has helped cement the appeal of football for millions of sports-lovers in the country that is co-hosting the tournament along with Mexico and Canada.
Solid wins over Paraguay and Australia saw the United States finish top of Group D with more goals for the US men's team than at any past World Cup.
"I need to remind everyone we won the group, sorry guys, we won," said head coach Mauricio Pochettino after the US slipped in their final group encounter to lose 3-2 against Turkey.
Outside the match at the Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood, 35-year-old physical therapist Ian Bjerke wore overalls adorned with the Stars and Stripes.
"That just shows my commitment to this team," he joked of his sartorial choice.
