USA vs Paraguay Live Score FIFA World Cup 2026: USA are all set to kick off their highly anticipated 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign on January 13 (IST) against a tough Paraguay squad. Playing on home soil at the Los Angeles Stadium in Inglewood, the stakes are incredibly high for the co-hosts.
This Group D opener is a massive opportunity for the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) to make a statement in front of a passionate home crowd. Under the guidance of head coach Mauricio Pochettino, USA enters the tournament with a talented and energetic squad. The team will heavily rely on the playmaking abilities of Christian Pulisic and the finishing skills of striker Folarin Balogun. With the advantage of a roaring home crowd, the Americans are expected to play a fast-paced, high-pressing game.
Paraguay, returning to the World Cup stage for the first time since 2010, will not make things easy. Coached by Gustavo Alfaro, the South American team is known for being incredibly difficult to break down. They are defensive experts who play with deep discipline. While they might not control the ball as much as USA., they are highly dangerous on the counter-attack. Speedy players like Miguel Almiron will be looking to sprint past the USA defense the moment Paraguay wins the ball back.
