Following Mexico's win on the opening day, the other two co-hosts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup also began their campaigns on Day 2, in Toronto and Los Angeles respectively. Canada picked up their first-ever point at a World Cup, after a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina, after they had to come back from an early goal down to Jovo Lukic, with Cyle Larin the hero for Jesse Marsch's side.
The USA, meanwhile, made a strong start to their World Cup, with a sensational 4-1 win over Paraguay in Los Angeles, as Folarin Balogun and Christian Pulisic starred, particularly in a first half where the USA played some superb football.
