At 8:00 AM today (June 13), the US and Paraguay teams will meet in the opening match of Group D of the 2026 World Cup.
Home advantage helps the US to be rated slightly higher. Coach Mauricio Pochettino and his students have nearly 2 years of preparation for the tournament and aim to at least repeat the achievement to reach the round of 16.
Meanwhile, Paraguay returned to the World Cup after 16 years of absence. The South American representative won a ticket with 6th place in the CONMEBOL qualifiers and impressed with a victory over Argentina. Under the guidance of coach Gustavo Alfaro, Paraguay pursues a pragmatic playing style and prioritizes defense.
In the early morning of June 14, Qatar will face Switzerland in Group B, taking place at 2:00 AM. After that, Group C will also officially kick off with a confrontation between Brazil and Morocco at 5:00 AM.
