Well, that couldn't have gone better for the United States. They've been drawn with Australia, Paraguay and the winner of Turkiye/Romania/Slovakia/Kosovo in 2026 World Cup Group D. Dream draw for the #USMNT.

Very favorable draw for the United States so far... as they're paired up with Australia and Paraguay. The #USMNT will open their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign against Paraguay on June 12 in Los Angeles.
