Team USA’s 4-1 World Cup victory over Paraguay was almost too good to be true.
The Americans jumped out to a 3-0 halftime lead and never looked back.
The only blemish: Christian Pulisic was substituted at halftime as a precaution after taking a kick to his left calf.
The U.S. is a -175 favorite against Australia (+450/+350 for tie) in its second match Wednesday in Seattle.
There are four World Cup matches on today’s schedule, highlighted by Brazil vs. Morocco (6 p.m. ET).

Nigel Seeley isn’t buying Qatar ahead of its match against Switzerland (3 p.m. ET):
“They are winless in their last six matches and failed to score against both El Salvador and Palestine during that stretch.”

🏀 How Do The Spurs Respond?
How will the Spurs recover from being on the wrong end of the largest comeback in NBA playoff history?
We’ll find out tonight (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC).
The Knicks can clinch the NBA title, but San Antonio remains a 5- to 5.5-point favorite at home.
Zach Cohen’s NBA Report
One thing that favors San Antonio is the two full days of rest.
“The Spurs will be able to get Victor Wembanyama’s legs right after a game in which he clearly ran out of gas in the second half.”
👉 Zach’s Game 5 Best Bets →
Steve Makinen’s strongest trend also points toward San Antonio. NBA Finals home favorites of 4.5 points or more are 24-13-2 ATS (64.9%) since 2013 and teams coming off a 46%+ three-point shooting performance (as the Knicks did) are just 1-10-1 ATS in the next Finals game
