## Resource

The US men’s national team exploded onto the World Cup stage with a dazzling 4-1 demolition of Paraguay, setting the tone for a tournament they’re ready to dominate. Playing with the swagger of the old Lakers, they attacked relentlessly, led by Folarin Balogun’s brace, goals from Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic, and a late winner from Gio Reyna. Coach Pochettino’s message of joy and focus paid off as the squad refused to coast after scoring — a stark contrast to past World Cup performances. With co-host status and home-field advantage, this team is firing on all cylinders and proving they’re serious contenders. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
