The U.S. men’s national team take on Paraguay in the first of two November friendlies as 2026 FIFA World Cup preparation ramps up.
After a positive October camp with results against Ecuador and Australia, manager Mauricio Pochettino is without numerous stars. Players like Christian Pulisic, Malik Tillman, Antonee Robinson, Weston McKennie and Chris Richards were not selected for the two November friendlies. To make matters worse, veteran midfielder Tyler Adams had to pull out with an injury.
