US Team Performance: Dominant Results Against Paraguay in World Cup 2026 Game

LOS ANGELES STADIUM — I knew this American team was worth eating, but it added some extra spice to Friday night. USA gave everything in the first half in their match against Paraguay. Mauricio Pochettino's side dominated the game from start to finish. No one left earlier in the stadium. The fans loved this American team, and they were rewarded with a great goal, such as Zio Reyna's goal that made the score 4-1. I'm going to rate this game as a short-lived feature. It was a great night in Los Angeles as the United States put on a dominant performance. let's begin

Starting XI Matt Freeze, Goalkeeper Rank: 8 Freeze started opposite Matt Turner, but was not called upon much on Friday. I am looking at them very kindly. He didn't have the ego, and I don't think he could have done much on goal. Because of his presence there, where Maurice tried to get at the goal, I don't think he could have done anything. Like I said, I'm feeling very gracious after this performance, so 8 for Freeze.

Anthony Robinson, left back Rating: 8.5 Alex Freeman, right back Rating: 8.5 I think Anthony Robinson was more involved in attack tonight, while Alex Freeman was a bit more disciplined on the right and Sergino Dast played up the wing. I had praised Freeman during the two friendlies against Senegal and Germany before the tournament, and he seemed right here tonight.

Team Ream, center back Rank: 8 Chris Richards, center back Rank: 8 I think Richards' leadership was felt early in the game, especially in the first half. The game started with a half-hour, but Chris, along with his 38-year-old partner, calmed it down.

Weston McKenney, center midfielder Rank: 9 Tyler Adams, center midfielder Rank: 9 Malik Tillman, center midfielder Rank: 9 I think Tyler was great, and I think Wes was great too – for different reasons. Tyler took a stupid peel card, but he did a lot of work on the field.

Christian Pulisic, left winger Rating: 8.5 Folarin Balogun, Striker Rank: 10 It's the goals, it's the style of taking the goals, and it's their overall game, which I think was great.

Sergino Dest, Right Midfielder Rank: 9 I like Sergino up at the back. At first, I wasn't sure about them.

Bonus: Head coach Mauricio Pochettino for 10. Poch did everything right tonight.
