The co-hosts U.S. won their opening Group D match on Saturday (June 13, 2026) against Paraguay 4-1. The U.S. started its goal haul within seven minutes in the first World ‌Cup tournament on its soil since 1994, thanks to an own goal by Damián Bobadilla. If U.S. wins this match, they will be entering the knockouts of FIFA World Cup. It will be a big question mark whether Chritian Pulisic will be playing as he was injured.

Australia put past Türkiye 2-0 on June 13, 2026, for a winning start in their Group D match to diminish the latter’s return to the World Cup after 24 years.

Both U.S and Australia will be having a interesting tussle at Lumen Field Stadium, Seattle on June 19, 2026.
