The United States will open the 2026 World Cup with an opponent it had some fireworks with in November. The USMNT drew Paraguay for their first match on June 12, 2026 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. When the two sides played a match that was supposed to be friendly on Nov. 15, tensions flared with a late-match brawl.

A favorable draw Friday afternoon, with the U.S. facing Paraguay and Australia in Group D, along with a third yet-to-be-determined playoff victor between Türkiye, Romania, Slovakia and Kosovo, was as much as the Americans could have asked for at this World Cup on home soil.

It's a statement victory for the USMNT as they stretched their unbeaten run to five games to end 2025. They've hit their stride under Mauricio Pochettino, and no matter who is in the lineup, an identity is forming. Let's take a look at the goals:
