USA vs. Paraguay
12 June 2026 – Los Angeles Stadium – Los Angeles, USA
Half Time: 3-0
Full Time: 4-1
⚽️ 7′ Own Goal by Damián Bobadilla (USA)
⚽️ 31′ Folarin Balogun (USA)
⚽️ 45+5′ Folarin Balogun (USA)
⚽️ 31′ Maurício (Paraguay)
⚽️ 90+8′ Giovanni Reyna (USA)
This game surprised us. USA played well better than we expected of them. In fact, there were many times both Ange and I said “Wow, that was so good!” but for the USA team. Didn’t expect Paraguay to get a whipping like that.
Australia vs. Türkiye
13 June 2026 – BC Place Vancouver – Vancouver, Canada
Half Time: 1-0
Full Time: 2-0
⚽️ 27′ Nestory Irankunda (Australia)
⚽️ 75′ Connor Metcalfe (Australia)
Australia got revenge after all of the attacks Turkish Media made against them.
USA vs. Australia
19 June 2026 – Seattle Stadium – Seattle, USA
Half Time: 2-0
Full Time: 2-0
⚽️ 11′ Own Goal by Cameron Burgess (USA)
⚽️ 43′ Alex Freeman (USA)
An early own goal to put USA ahead made it difficult for Australia. Interestingly, this is the second own goal in this World Cup for USA. The last one was also early (7th minute) when they played Paraguay. Australia played much better in the second half though it wasn’t enough. With this result, USA is guaranteed a spot in the final round of 32.
Türkiye vs. Paraguay
19 June 2026 – San Francisco Bay Area Stadium – San Francisco, USA
Half Time: 1-0
Full Time: 1-0
⚽️ 2′ Matías Galarza (Paraguay)
The fastest goal in the 2026 World Cup so far was scored by Paraguay’s Matías Galarza, who found the net just 64 seconds after kick-off. Paraguay played over half the match with one player less (only 10 on the field) due to a red card to Miguel Almirón for covering his mouth while talking to an opposition player (one of the new rules that came in for this World Cup to help eliminate racism).
Türkiye vs. USA
25 June 2026 – Los Angeles Stadium – Los Angeles, USA
Half Time: 2-1
Full Time: 3-2
⚽️ 3′ Auston Trusty (USA)
⚽️ 10′ Arda Güler (Türkiye)
⚽️ 31′ Barış Alper Yılmaz (Türkiye)
⚽️ 49′ Sebastian Berhalter (USA)
⚽️ 90+8′ Kaan Ayhan (Türkiye)
The winning goal in extra time!
