The USMNT's World Cup era is officially underway. 🌎⚽⁣
⁣
The hosts opened their FIFA World Cup campaign with a statement 4–1 win over Paraguay, led by a ⭐️⭐ performance from Folarin Balogun, who netted twice on the biggest stage.⁣
⁣
Christian Pulisic pulled the strings, the midfield dominated, and Giovanni Reyna added the finishing touch as the U.S. recorded the highest-scoring World Cup match in program history. 🤯⁣
⁣
Even more impressive? Balogun became the first USMNT player to score multiple goals in a World Cup match since 1930. 📈🔥⁣
⁣
One game down. Plenty more work to do. But for now, the hosts have given fans plenty to believe in. 🇺🇸🙌⁣
