USA vs Paraguay: World Cup Group Stage Opener at SoFi Stadium

Match Context

USA face Paraguay at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on 13 June 2026 in World Cup Group Stage - 1. Both sides enter this opener with a clean disciplinary slate and no confirmed absences listed, and the standings show USA ranked 1st and Paraguay 2nd in Group D with 0 points and 0 goal difference each. This is not a knockout tie, so the 1/8 final designation does not apply here.

USA Availability

There are no recorded injuries, doubtful players, or suspensions for USA in the available data. The full 26-man squad, including key figures such as C. Pulisic, F. Balogun, T. Weah, and W. McKennie, is expected to be at the coach’s disposal. No USA player is reported sidelined due to yellow cards or red cards.

Paraguay Availability

Similarly, Paraguay have no players listed as injured, doubtful, or suspended. Attacking options like M. Almirón, A. Sanabria, J. Enciso, and G. Ávalos are all available, with no disciplinary bans reported.

Impact Summary

With no confirmed absentees on either side and no top scorers or assist providers available from the statistics feed, neither USA nor Paraguay appear to suffer any measurable loss of attacking output based on the current team season statistics. Both coaches should have maximum flexibility in selection.
