The U.S. Men’s National Team has officially found its footing with a dominant win over Paraguay, according to former U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard. The 4-1 blowout drew a massive 24.9 million viewers, shattering records as the largest soccer audience in U.S. history.

Looking Ahead to Australia

Howard expects a far different type of match against Australia, warning that their physical style could create problems if the U.S. allows itself to be knocked out of rhythm. Despite this, Howard likes the matchup for the Americans, saying they will “play the Australians off the park” if they can match their physicality.

Off the pitch, Howard highlighted the importance of supporters in building momentum ahead of the 2026 World Cup on home soil. He noted the cultural and togetherness aspect of soccer, saying that fans need to build this culture and hype around the team to help propel them to greatness.
