The stage is set for a cauldron-like atmosphere at SoFi Stadium as Paraguay look to upset the hosts and send shockwaves through Group D.

One player who's been making waves this season is Tim Weah, a forward with a knack for scoring crucial goals. With Pulisic in peak form after a stellar club season, the American attacking prowess looks stronger than ever.

But Paraguay won't be intimidated by their more experienced opponents. A team rebuilt from scratch is on a mission to prove themselves and make amends with football fans at home - who've been waiting patiently for years for this moment of redemption.
