- USA blew out Paraguay 4-1 in Los Angeles — Folarin Balogun scored twice, giving the U.S. its first-ever four-goal game at a men's World Cup and the first multi-goal U.S. World Cup performance in 96 years.
- The U.S. flew out of the gates (an own goal inside seven minutes and three first-half goals — first time since 2002), with Christian Pulisic creating chances before being subbed early in the second half (precaution or minor issue).
- Big momentum at home but Pochettino is urging focus — a win over Australia on June 19 could clinch Group D and make the final group game largely moot.
