After Mexico and Canada have already had their turn, the United States of America will round out a run of opening ceremonies for the 2026 World Cup as they host Paraguay in the Los Angeles area.
The first game of Group D is a throwback to the very first World Cup: the United States ran out 3-0 winners over Paraguay in the group stage in 1930, thanks to Bert Patenaude scoring the first hat-trick in the history of the competition...officially, anyway.
