How to watch USA vs Paraguay at the World Cup:<\/p>\n

Kick-off time: This Group D clash is set to get under way locally at 6pm<\/a> (PST) on Friday evening, though owing to the time difference, UK viewers will need to stay up late as it airs in the early hours of Saturday morning at 2am (BST).Match location: The contest will be staged at the stunning Los Angeles Stadium, more commonly known to supporters as SoFi Stadium, situated in Inglewood, California. This cutting-edge venue will hand the American side a home-soil advantage as they kick off their tournament campaign.British television broadcast: Supporters in the UK can catch all of the action entirely free-to-air on BBC One. Live television coverage is due to commence at 1:30am, affording viewers 30 minutes of pre-match build-up before the action begins.Live stream capabilities: The match can be streamed online via the BBC Sport website on desktop computers and laptops. Those preferring to use mobile devices, smart TVs or consoles can follow the broadcast live through the official BBC iPlayer app.American viewing options: Supporters watching from the United States can follow the match live in English on FOX or Fox Sports 1.

The station will broadcast full audio commentary of the match, beginning shortly before the 2am kick-off.United States squad updates: Manager Mauricio Pochettino has one significant concern to weigh up before naming his starting line-up. Defender Chris Richards has returned to training, though throwing him straight into the starting XI may be premature given his recovery, while Sergino Dest is fully fit having bounced back from a hamstring injury last month.Paraguay squad updates: Defender Omar Alderete is available once again after completing a previous suspension, however Julio Enciso’s involvement in the tournament is in doubt after sustaining a double injury to his side and back against Nicaragua last week. Brighton’s Diego Gomez could be handed a starting berth ahead of Enciso after coming through his own injury setback.Historical head-to-head records: The history between these two nations stretches all the way back to the very first World Cup in 1930, when the USA claimed a memorable 3-0 triumph. Overall, the Americans hold a 5W-2L-2D record against the South American nation, which includes a hard-fought 2-1 friendly victory for the USMNT when the sides last crossed paths.READ THE FULL STORY ON THE WORLD CUP AXED REFEREE: Referee axed from World Cup as Donald Trump’s US officials stop him at airport<\/a><\/p>\n
