After Canada's 1-1 draw with Bosnia, the United States made a winning debut at the World Cup with a resounding 4-1 victory over Paraguay, watched by numerous Hollywood stars in the stands for the debut: from Tom Cruise to Paris Hilton, Jamie Foxx and Brad Pitt, many attended the match at the Inglewood Stadium, south of Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, controversy erupts over FIFA President Gianni Infantino's stinging comments against Italy: "With 64 teams, perhaps we could qualify, or perhaps we should get to 208." These words, delivered with a smile, rub salt in the wound of three consecutive World Cup qualification failures, sparking a social media outcry among Italy fans.
Italian Sports Minister Andrea Abodi, who requested a phone call with Infantino, was also "perplexed," while the FIGC expressed disappointment over "an unfortunate remark. Football teaches respect."
The schedule continues tonight with Qatar vs. Switzerland (9 p.m. on DAZN). The Group B match (which would have been Italy's if they had qualified) is scheduled for the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium.
Tonight, Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil will make their World Cup debut: at midnight they face Morocco (Rai Uno and Dazn, and streamed on Rai Play). At 3:00 a.m., McTominay's Scotland take on Haiti (Dazn), and at 6:00 a.m., Vincenzo Montella's Turkey takes on Australia (Dazn).
