USA hit Paraguay for four in dream start to their World Cup campaign

The United States started the World Cup strongly with a win against Paraguay in front of a sold-out crowd in Los Angeles. The hosts took the lead within seven minutes due to an own goal and went on to dominate the game, scoring three more goals before the end of the first half.
