Gustavo Alfaro's red-and-whites are ranked 40th in the world, 23 places lower than their hosts in California. They warmed up by sticking four past Nicaragua in a friendly in Asuncion at the end of last week.
Pochettino's preparations have been illuminating for the United States head coach. After a 3-2 win against Senegal in which the US lost a two-goal lead before Folarin Balogun's winner, they ran in-form and highly-rated Germany close in Chicago.

United States 2-0 Paraguay
