United States vs Paraguay — match preview
United States meet Paraguay in Group D of the 2026 World Cup. Co-hosts with home advantage and a peak-years core under Pochettino.
Paraguay arrive with their own plan. Hardened by CONMEBOL qualifying — disciplined, physical, awkward to play. The match-up between Christian Pulisic and Miguel Almirón is the headline individual battle.
On paper United States have the stronger squad, but World Cup group games are rarely straightforward — the underdog only needs one moment, and the favourite carries the pressure of expectation.
