Australia holds on for a 2-0 win against Turkiye. Friday’s game in Seattle is basically winner advances. Huge opportunity for the USMNT. Lucas Herrington was an unused sub.

Unbelievable detail in this article: Brisbane Roar’s ownership sold their 20% sell-on clause for Herrington for $560,000 AUD (~€340,000) in recent weeks.

Good overall performance. A win and +3 goal difference to open the Word Cup! Great start. Job done. See you in Seattle!

"Call FIFA. Fix that problem," Poch says to the FIFA press officer to end the press conference.

The press conference room is curtains in the stadium underbelly with so much ambient noise.

[Burgundy Wave @Burgundywave]

Can confirm tonight is the most number of goals (4) the USMNT has scored in a World Cup match.

[Burgundy Wave @Burgundywave]

Mauricio Pochettino is asked about Christian Pulisic. Said it's about the team, not individuals. Goes not to say "______ was amazing," naming almost every starter.

[Burgundy Wave @Burgundywave]

USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino complains about the makeshift press conference room, curtains put up:

"What is going on? this is terrible. It's impossible to work with this noise.
"It's annoying me. With an amazing stadium, we don't have room for an important press conference."

[Burgundy Wave @Burgundywave]

Paraguay manager Gustavo Alfaro says Damián Bobadilla, who committed the own goal, was fit. Said the issues in midfield wasn't just him. Their marking was late. Called the USMNT movement off the ball and pressing complex.
