Group Analysis
Group D is the USA's group, and the host nation will enjoy tremendous home advantage with matches likely in major American cities. The pressure to deliver is immense—this is the biggest sporting event ever held on American soil.
Paraguay bring South American grit and experience, having reached the quarterfinals in 2010. Australia's Socceroos impressed in 2022 with a Round of 16 run.
