USMNT, Canada, and Mexico Avoid Unwanted World Cup History in Style
The 2026 World Cup has kicked off with all three host nations - the US, Canada, and Mexico - avoiding defeat in their opening matches.
Mexico started the tournament with a 2-0 win over South Africa, their first World Cup opening match victory.
Canada drew 1-1 with Bosnia & Herzegovina, with Cyle Larin scoring the equalizer in the 78th minute.
The US men's national team delivered the most impressive performance, beating Paraguay 4-1, their largest-ever margin of victory in a World Cup game.
The US will face Australia next, a team they defeated 2-1 in October. A win would likely secure at least a second-place finish in Group D.
Canada, with only a point from their opener, faces Qatar next, a game that could give them their first-ever World Cup victory.
Mexico tops Group A but faces a challenging match against South Korea, who completed a comeback against Czechia in their opening match.
If Mexico survives against South Korea, they will be close to securing a spot in the knockout stage.
