The USMNT is looking to open the World Cup on a high note as they look to emerge from Group D. After Friday's matchup with Paraguay, the team will face Australia on June 19 and Turkey on June 25.
The U.S. squad previously advanced to the knockout round in 2022, 2014 and 2010. It's worth noting that the team failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

This includes Christian Pulisic, who already sits at No. 5 on the USMNT's all-time goals scored list with 33.
