The United States kicked off their World Cup campaign with a dominant 4-1 win against Paraguay in Los Angeles on Friday, setting the tone for Group D.
Goals from Giovanni Reyna and Folarin Balogun, alongside a little help from a Paraguay own goal, proved too much for the South American side, as ex-Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino's team romped home to victory.
Despite the immense pressure of the occasion, the US side were superb in the opening 45 minutes, before a classy outside-of-the-boot finish sealed the win late in the game.
