The United States men’s national team reached its furthest point in World Cup history during the inaugural tournament in Uruguay in 1930, advancing to the semi‑finals and ultimately finishing third. In the modern era, their best result remains a quarter‑final appearance at the 2002 edition, co‑hosted by South Korea and Japan.

Paraguay’s deepest World Cup run also came in the quarter‑finals, achieved at the 2010 tournament in South Africa. La Albirroja were narrowly eliminated by eventual champions Spain, falling 1–0 to a late goal.
