The United States starts its home World Cup with a 4-1 win over Paraguay in a Group D opener at Los Angeles Stadium. Multiple outlets report that striker Folarin Balogun scores twice, with both goals coming in the first half, setting the tone for a comfortable US performance. BBC and others describe the victory as convincing and dominant, while several reports emphasize that the result marks a strong opening for the co-hosts. One goal scorer besides Balogun is mentioned in some accounts: Gio Reyna scores a curling shot as part of the four-goal haul. Reports also note comments from US captain Tim Ream, who says the team begins the tournament in the way it wanted. Nation News highlights an additional storyline: concern about the fitness of Christian Pulisic following the match. Across the reports, the shared picture is that the USA control the game early through Balogun’s brace and go on to win 4-1 against Paraguay in their first match of the campaign.
