America's historic quadruple and VAR influence
The American team achieved a major victory over their Paraguayan counterpart, 4-1, in the opening of the 2026 World Cup. Player Folarin Balogun scored two goals and made history for the tournament with the first double in this edition. The match also witnessed the first use of the "identity verification" rule through VAR technology, which overturned a yellow card initially given by the referee and cleared the player of any bias accusations. The US team succeeded in securing its largest victory in World Cup history, starting strong in their group, while Paraguay lost its first match after a 16-year absence from the finals.
