^Starting XI's play for those clubs, gives you a better idea of team strength.

Looking at the quality of clubs/leagues the players are coming from, USA doesn't have that much of an edge, they have 2 players starting from mug leagues, Paraguay 2-3 players. Attacking players for USA coming from better clubs but even then it's not exactly vintage Juventus or Milan sides. Monaco/Strasbourg 7th and 8th in their league.

Paraguay beat Brazil and Argentina in qualifying at home and only narrowly lost to them 1-0 away, took 4 pts off of Uruguay as well.

Disadvantage for them is USA has home advantage but would not be surprised at a draw or even Paraguay win especially if America takes them lightly.

Kind Regards.

Backed Paraguay as well. Equal points with the Brazil, Columbia and Uruguay in qualifiers. Seem to have better form home but price seems big to me against a USA team that has mainly been playing friendlies.

Report Shrewd_dude June 13, 2026 2:16 AM BST
If they can stop toe poking the ball in their own net from 8 yards it would help.

Only Argenintian and Equador conceded less goals than them in qualifying.

full backs on both flanks for Paraguay are too easily beaten

You can see that USA are a good bit better than Canada or Mexico. They move the ball quicker and with better touch and more accuracy.

Offside but very good play by the USA there and looks like Paraguay are there for the taking at the moment.

Yeah hopefully continues in the next half as well. The Mexico and Canada games died a bit after early goals previously.
Report Des Pond June 13, 2026 2:47 AM BST
the differenced between USA and Canada is that they have a proper coach, whereas Canada have a wannabe. And better players, admittedly.

Report DBLyourmoney June 13, 2026 3:13 AM BST
Exactly. Getting too up or down on any side after 1 game is unwise. This is a longass tourney, and it's a certainty that teams that looked good early, will disappoint later. While teams that looked bang average early, will raise their game when things get more serious.

This was just a freak result, America have played no where near this level under Poch, not even close.

Paraguay beat Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay in qualies, they conceded just 10 goals in 18 matches against much higher calibre sides.

You can't account for left field results like this.

Own goal killed the game.

The theory has a sample size of one, they'll be more samples coming.

Kind Regards.

Never mind Mes, lots of people would've been thinking the same way, including me. I only changed my mind after I saw the right back getting roasted time and again, and the Paraguay defenders generally not being able to cope.
