The world cup opening match may have been played already. That's all well and good. For the USMNT and the nation hosting the lion share of the World Cup fixtures, including the final... the tournament dawns after the sun sets on the East Coast. The US play their opening group stage match tonight. Their opponent, Paraguay, will look to spoil the experience, and, despite losing to the US narrowly in a friendly staged last November, the South American stalwarts are capable of that.
