Los Angeles Stadium (INGLEWOOD, Calif.) Sitting at the dais the day before his first match in charge at a World Cup, United States national team boss Mauricio Pochettino went back to the beginning of his tenure at the helm of the tournament co-hosts. Pochettino said back in September 2024 at his introductory press conference in a Manhattan skyscraper that he believed and that his players would have to believe, too that the Stars and Stripes could win the World Cup. Just eight nations have in the almost 100-year history of the planets marquee spotting event, including Pochettinos native Argentina. Yet his own lone experience as a player at soccers quadrennial party ended in heartbreak: a stunning group stage elimination in 2002 the same year a plucky and nails-tough American squad shocked Planet Ftbol by reaching the quarterfinals in a memorable run that included a group-stage win over Portugal and a round-of-16 victory over Mexico. According to the experts, neither of those things was supposed to occur. The lesson? At the World Cup, anything can happen. So when Pochettino was asked ahead of the U.S.'s tournament opener on Friday against Paraguay what would constitute success for his team in the weeks to come, his answer wasnt at all surprising. "For me, [being] successful is [to] win," Pochettino said. "It's win tomorrow, and win after [that.] If we don't arrive to the final, and we don't win the World Cup, [how can we] talk about successful? I don't know." Pochettino wouldnt have taken the job if he didnt believe he could do what most including most Americans, probably believe is impossible this summer. After walking away from Chelsea in 2024 as one of Europes best-regarded coaches, he wouldnt have turned down more lucrative offers to take on the challenge of making a deep run with a country that hes long admired from afar, one he frequently notes aspires to be the best in anything it tries to do. At his core, "Poch" is a dreamer. Hes the reason behind the U.S. motto changing from "One Nation, One Team" during the 2022 World Cup cycle to the "Never Chase Reality." The 54-year-old doesnt want to be realistic about the Americans' chances on home soil. Instead, he wants to bend reality to his will by convincing his players anything is possible. After all, the future isn't written yet. He cried when he watched the Disney movie "Miracle" that chronicled the greatest upset in the history of American and perhaps global sports: when the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team with a roster filled with amateur college kids upset the grizzled and fully professional four-time defending gold medalists Soviet Union at that years Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. Pochettino saw a kindred spirit in Herb Brooks, the no-nonsense taskmaster of that group and borrowing his famous quote about assembling the "right" players as opposed to the "best." No way is he about to back down on the eve of this World Cup. "When we signed here, it was because we wanted to come here and to be involved in that unique event, but with the possibility to compete well and believing in winning." Can the U.S., FIFAs No. 17-ranked team, do it? Can they even come close? The latest odds stand at +6000, behind nations like Uruguay, Morocco, Japan and even Mexico, the USAs historic soccer rival. Not that the U.S. needs to hoist the trophy to capture the imagination of the American public. Just winning Fridays opener here would be a start. Since returning to the global stage in 1990 following a 40-year absence, the U.S. has won its World Cup opener just twice: that match versus Portugal and in 2014, when a late John Brooks header beat Ghana. Overall, theyve won just six times in 30 tries. Thats why topping Paraguay is so important. "Its contagious," Pochettino said of what can happen if they do, with casual supporters suddenly jumping on the bandwagon with each successive triumph. "We need to play with passion and make the fans feel proud about what they are seeing on the field, I think to create that emotional relationship, and then you will do the rest to try to encourage the people to celebrate. We need the support of our fans." He knows how best to get it. "We need," he said, "to win."

FIFA World CupSouth Korea 2 - 1 Czech Republic FTSouth Korea came from behind to defeat Czech Republic 2-1 as substitute Oh Hyeon-gyu scored the winning goal in the 80th minute of their World Cup opener.Son Heung-min and company had dominated the game against the Czechs, who did not have a shot on target until their captain Ladislav Krejci rose to head home a long throw from Vladimir Coufal for the opening goal in the 59th minute. Former Tottenham forward Son, captaining his nation, had five of South Korea's eight efforts in the first half, and his biggest chance was blocked by goalkeeper Matej Kovar shortly after the interval.But Feyenoord defensive midfielder Hwang In-beom inspired South Korea's fightback when he equalised only eight minutes after the Czech opener by defender Krejci, who spent last season on loan at Wolves.Found inside the box by the lively Lee Kang-in, Hwang deceived Kovar, who had rushed off his line, as he faked to shoot before scooping the ball over the Czech keeper and into an unguarded goal to make it 1-1.South Korea thought they had been undone by another Czech set-piece in the 78th minute as Tomas Soucek nodded home a free-kick from the left, but Hong Myung-bo's side were handed a reprieve as the goal was ruled out for offside.And their supporters at Estadio Guadalajara were soon celebrating as their side took the lead, with Besiktas forward Oh tapping home a cross from Hwang to complete the turnaround.But the famous win was only sealed courtesy of keeper Kim Seung-gyu, who produced a brilliant low stop to block Adam Hlozek's close-range effort in the 82nd minute and also denied Michal Sadilek in stoppage time.It is the first time in four editions of the World Cup that South Korea have made a winning start to their campaign.Fifa president Gianni Infantino was among the spectators in Guadalajara, where Fifa said the capacity would be 45,664 for the four games it will be hosting.The attendance was announced as 44,985 although there were rows of empty seats, not just in the most expensive sections on halfway but around the stadium.Fifa has been criticised for its ticket policy for the World Cup, which is being hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, with the tournament organisers accused of "artificially inflating prices" and "misleading fans".Speaking on Wednesday, Infantino defended the pricing structure as "accurate" for the North American market, insisting that demand had been "unprecedented by a factor of 10 or more".What is happening with World Cup ticket prices?World Cup kicks off in Mexico with Shakira, dancing, and protests'There's a World Cup happening?' Are Americans excited about the tournament?Son makes way before winnerFor many years Son has been South Korea's talisman, scoring 56 goals from 145 appearances.He holds the record for most games for the national team and needs two goals to draw level with Cha Bum-kun as their all-time leading scorer.The 33-year-old, who left Spurs to join MLS side LAFC in August 2025, is playing in his fourth World Cup and linked seamlessly with Lee Kang-in and Lee Jae-sung to create a host of first-half chances.Son had one shot deflected over before sending two strikes from outside the box off-target. He then failed to connect properly when stretching for a return ball in the box.His clearest opportunity came early in the second half, when he tried to lift the ball over Kovar but did not get enough on it.Son was replaced two minutes after South Korea's equaliser having failed to add to his three World Cup goals, and it was his replacement, ex-Celtic striker Oh, who claimed the winner on his World Cup bow.What's next for these teams?Czech Republic will next face South Africa on Thursday, 18 June (17:00 BST) while South Korea take on World Cup co-hosts Mexico, who beat South Africa 2-0 in their first match, on Friday, 19 June (02:00 BST).World Cup fixtures and group standingsHow to watch the World Cup on the BBCEverything you need to know about the World Cup

Roy Keane and Ian Wright have locked horns with Gary Neville over Mexico's opening goal of the World Cup.Julian Quinones' right-footed effort got the scoring started for the co-hosts, being gifted the opportunity after Yaya Sithole gave away the ball on the edge of his penalty area.Keane and Wright were both in agreement that South African goalie Ronwen Williams was at fault for passing the ball into the middle and letting the shot go through his legs.Neville instead blame laid with Sithole for his poor touch, which gave Mexico the opportunity to pounce.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayKeane said on ITV: "It's not like Pirlo, where he likes to get on it and get on the half-turn, he is on the edge of his box nine minutes into a World Cup game."Talk about possession, [the pass] is too straight, a top midfielder would make an angle."Wright chipped in with: "The fact is that is where he could take a bad touch. "For me, he has taken a chance passing it because if he does get a bad touch there, that's what can happen, Gary."LATEST SPORTS NEWSWorld Cup 2026 day two: Mexico and South Korea kick off campaigns with wins, two games to comeJose Mourinho officially announced as new Real Madrid manager 13 years after first taking jobWimbledon break prize money increase record but players still not happyNeville responded by disagreeing with his colleagues, accusing Wright of being "facetious".After Keane explained how his "eyes would light up" at the type of pass played by the South African goalkeeper, Neville said: "There's 48 teams in this tournament and 48 coaches and most of them will be saying - most of them will be setting up to play that little pass in there and bounce it back to the goalkeeper or bounce it back to the right centre-back."Trying to avoid the interjections from Keane and Wright, the former Manchester United full-back added: "It's not how we played, I get it."Keane and Wright disagreed, as the Reds' former midfielder criticised the goalkeeper's decision-making, while ex-Arsenal forward Wright said: "Where would you rather have a bad touch?"As the second half got underway, commentator Ally McCoist weighed in on the matter, agreeing with Neville's perspective.Fans have been reacting to the heated exchange between the trio, with one saying: "Sorry (Gary Neville), I'm in Roy's camp with this one. "That straight pass is a dangerous one to make from the keeper when he had better options."Another said: "Half time of the first game and Roy Keane, Gary Neville and Wrighty are already arguing."One other added: "Gary Neville already had enough of Roy Keane, it's game one."Mexico comfortably saw off South Africa 2-0 in the contest, with Raul Jimenez getting the second goal of the game.Three players were dismissed from the contest, as South Africa finished the game with just nine men.The other game in Group A saw South Korea come from behind to beat the Czech Republic 2-1.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
