About This Match
United States face Paraguay in the Group Stage of Group D on Friday, June 12, 2026. United States are ranked #14 in the world and managed by Mauricio Pochettino; Paraguay sit at #26 under Gustavo Alfaro. The match kicks off at 18:00 local time at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
United States
The United States enter the 2026 FIFA World Cup as co-hosts with their highest expectations in decades, powered by a golden generation of American players thriving in Europe's top leagues. Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino has galvanised the USMNT, with Chelsea's Christian Pulisic and the emerging Gio Reyna providing genuine world-class quality. Group D alongside Australia, Paraguay, and Turkey is very winnable, and anything less than a quarterfinal run would be considered disappointing on home soil. The 1994 World Cup - also hosted by the USA - ignited soccer culture in America; the 2026 edition, with 11 co-host cities, could complete that transformation.
Read United States preview →Paraguay
Paraguay bring a proud World Cup tradition to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, having reached the quarter-finals at South Africa 2010 where they were only eliminated by Spain. Newcastle United's Miguel Almirón, one of the Premier League's most popular midfielders, provides star quality, while the creative Julio Enciso adds dynamism. Under veteran CONMEBOL coach Gustavo Alfaro, Los Guaraníes are a disciplined, hard-working side that will be competitive in Group D against the United States, Australia, and Turkey. Paraguay's ability to organise defensively and strike on the counter-attack makes them dangerous opponents for any side.
