USA lost 2-1 to Germany in their final warm-up. A narrow defeat against a top-10 side is not a disaster — but it raises questions about defensive shape ahead of the Paraguay opener. Germany exploited the USA's high line twice.
Match Preview
The USMNT open their home World Cup against Paraguay. Pulisic, Reyna, Weah and Adams are all fit. Home crowd at SoFi Stadium in LA. Favourites to win the group.
