USMNT vs – The US Men’s National Team kicks off its World Cup campaign at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles tonight against Paraguay, a match that captain Tyler Adams and others say carries the weight of “the biggest game” in US soccer history. Christian Pulisic and Tyler Adam
When the USMNT walks into SoFi Stadium tonight, it won’t feel like a normal opener.
The players have spent the eve of the match gathered in a nondescript sports complex. practicing behind the kind of walls that make the moment feel delayed. Outside their sheltered area, kids played on a carousel and ran games of tag. The only giveaway that the team was even there was a tethered orange hot air balloon. covered in the US logo.
That quiet is gone now. Tonight, the US faces Paraguay in the US team’s World Cup debut, at 9 p.m. ET, in Los Angeles—an occasion the players themselves have described as the biggest kind of stage American soccer has asked for.

Paraguay about to get cooked.
So they’re saying it’s the biggest game in US soccer history but it’s still just Paraguay? I dunno, feels overhyped. Pulisic better not be rusty or I’m gonna be annoyed.
Tyler Adams saying “biggest game” is wild like every captain says that. Also why is it talking about a hot air balloon like that matters lol. I’m just here for vibes at SoFi, the real question is if the refs are gonna be fair.
Wait is this the one at the same stadium where they had concerts and stuff? I swear World Cup is basically always at LA now. If Adams is the captain and they’re practicing in a sports complex, that means they’re probably nervous, right? I don’t know, I feel like Paraguay is gonna surprise them.
