## Resource

The World Cup is here, and we are shifting into full tournament mode. Matt and Gabe preview the USMNT’s opening World Cup matchup against Paraguay, breaking down what the United States needs to do to start the tournament strong. We talk key players, score predictions, and what kind of performance would calm nerves heading into the rest of group play. From there, we look around the first few days of World Cup action and give score predictions for the early matchups. Then we go all in with a full World Cup bracket challenge, picking our way through the tournament and debating who has the best path to make a deep run. If you’re looking for USMNT vs Paraguay preview coverage, World Cup predictions, bracket picks, and tournament talk, this episode has you covered!
