For the second time in the history of the World Cup, the United States Men’s Soccer Team is kicking off its tournament on home soil when it takes on Paraguay<\/a> at Los Angeles Stadium (SoFi Stadium).<\/p>\n

This is the first game in Group D (Turkiye and Australia<\/a> are the other teams), with the USMNT<\/a> and Turkiye rated co-favorites. The US is coming in off a loss to Germany<\/a> in its send-off match, but played well enough to give it encouragement.<\/p>\n
