USMNT vs Paraguay Gameday Thread - World Cup 2026

That kick to the head off of #3. Ouch!

We are playing really well, but I'm not convinced this Paraguay team is very good.

By rankings they're better than Australia, but I think we're better by them by a margin. Turkey will supposedly be the real test.

 

[JP4CY]

My word is this half fun.

 

[jdoggivjc]

their goalie just stopped 3-0

They aren’t great, but they are definitely a similar style to teams that have historically given the US issues in CONCACAF.

I mean they gave up only 10 goals in 18 World Cup qualifying matches in CONEMBOL. Tough, physical, hard to score on.

With the way this game is going, message needs to be to avoid any yellow cards. Even if you end up giving up a play you cannot collect cards in a game you’re dominating. With Turkiya being the final match, you cannot take a couple yellows and be suspended for that one.

I'm more around 3/4 fun

If there are any yellows taken in this game I'd consider sitting them against Australia. Note I only said "consider".

I like to believe this isn’t the peak. For all we know, this is the trough and the peak is still to come.
