Christian Pulisic ran the show for the U.S. men’s national team against Paraguay and collected his third-career World Cup assist, already one more than what all-time great Cristiano Ronaldo has managed in his illustrious career on the global soccer stage.
The USMNT dismantled Paraguay 4–1 in its 2026 World Cup debut in arguably the greatest performance the Stars and Stripes have ever produced in the tournament. Pulisic came out with a point to prove and was sensational, starting the action that led to the early opener and then assisting Folarin Balogun’s first of the night.
