15 - Haití superó en remates (15 a 9) y posesión (54% a 46%) a Escocia. Es la primera vez que el combinado haitiano acumula más disparos y promedia más tenencia que su rival en un partido de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA. Diferente.

29a 41d - Con una edad media de 29 años y 41 días, Haití ha alineado un once inicial casi tres años más mayor que cualquiera de los que colocó en su única participación anterior en la Copa del Mundo en 1974 (el mayor fue de 26 años y 109 días). Cambio.

53 - The #USMNT's 53 touches in the attacking box vs. Paraguay on Friday were tied for the eighth-most in a FIFA World Cup match since 1966 and 17 more than any other match for the U.S. in the competition in that time. Overwhelming.

3 - The #USMNT has won a FIFA World Cup match by three goals for the third time with the previous two happening in 1930 (3-0 vs. Belgium in 1930, 3-0 vs. Paraguay in 1930). Intent.

3 - The #USMNT's 7th minute goal is the third-fastest scored by a host nation in their opening match at a FIFA World Cup after France in 1938 (1') and Germany in 2006 (6'). Storming.

5 - The #USMNT has named at least one player from each of the five major European leagues in a FIFA World Cup starting XI for the first time ever. Proper.

We asked FIFA President Gianni Infantino for his World Cup prediction. #Opta says Spain will win. His response was simple. "If Opta said so." See @OptaAnalyst's full predictions ➡️ bit.ly/4498ICp

2 - Brazil has failed to record a shot on target only twice in their last 96 matches dating back to early 2020. Both matches were against the #USWNT (Concacaf W Gold Cup Final in 2024, Tuesday's friendly). Staunch.

2002 - The #USMNT is the first FIFA World Cup host to lose its last match prior to the competition since Korea Republic lost 3-2 to France in 2002. Korea Republic went on to reach the semi-finals of that World Cup. Response.

13 - Christian Pulisic attempted 13 take-ons against Germany on Saturday, the most by a #USMNT player in any match since Opta began detailed data collection of all U.S. matches in 2010. Aggressor.

9 - Brazil won possession in the attacking third nine times against the #USWNT Saturday. The only teams to do so more times in a match in the last 8 years were Germany in the group stage of the 2024 Olympics (11) and Brazil themselves in an April 2025 friendly (11). Pressured.

41 - Antonee Robinson's goal was the 41st #USMNT goal scored by a @FulhamFC player over the last 25 years. Only LA Galaxy players (58) have scored more for the U.S. in that time. Fulhamerica.
