In addition to the controversy, high ticket prices have also deterred many fans from attending the games. As a result, some fans have chosen to stay home and watch the competition from afar.
President Trump will not be in attendance at the opening game, as he has chosen to attend a UFC event on June 14th. This is not an unusual occurrence, as hosting nations have traditionally been represented by their leaders at the World Cup.
The US team will face a challenging opponent in Paraguay, who have a poor record in opening games. In fact, Paraguay has only won one of their eight World Cup openers, and they have failed to win against a host nation in their previous two games.
Despite the challenges, the US team is looking to start their campaign on a high note. They will be hoping to build on their previous success against Paraguay, who they defeated 3-0 in 1928.
