Some shut eye before the next game. Stupid replays with spoilers in the timeline that can't be switched off. Might stick some paper across bottom of laptop.

The United States' group D opening game against Paraguay is a crucial match from a Socceroos perspective in terms of scouting our next two opponents after Turkey.

Silly question, obviously Paraguay!

Canada played out a 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina to earn their first ever point in World Cup history, also playing out the first draw of the 2026 World Cup in their maiden World Cup match on home soil.

They should definitely beat Qatar and get their first win too.

I think the match will be too close to call but it'll still be crucial for the Socceroos to see the style of play our opposition will be implementing in their tactical systems regardless of the result.

They should definitely beat Qatar and get their first win too.

Everyone in the group will be getting a result against Qatar though unless they've improved since winning the spoon in the last World Cup cycle.

Geez my tipping is going well so far…

Julio Enciso might still be injured and probably won't be right for Paraguay in their World Cup opening game against the United States though.

 

[erogenouszone]

Canada/BIH low quality game truth be told.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

The United States have named their starting XI for their group D opening match against Paraguay which is a fairly full-strength playing list. Tim Ream leads the line as captain, with Matt Freese starting between the sticks.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Paraguay have also named their starting XI for their World Cup opening game against the United States. Julio Enciso is right to play and starts for them, with Gustavo Gomez leading the line as captain and Orlando Gill starting between the sticks.

[jas88]

[Bbouy]

Come on Paraguay!!

We need the US to win

 

[Socceroofan4life]

My hope is that the USA finish BOTTOM of the group so despite it being smarter that they win here.... nah lets go Paraguay!!!

Even if the United States and Paraguay manage to eke out a draw today the Socceroos are hopefully still going to beat both of them and it should be enough for us to at least finish top two depending on how our opening match against Turkey pans out.

Enciso is fine. More drama about nothing.
