Mauricio Pochettino’s side put down an early marker with a dominant display against Paraguay that has heightened expectations for the encounter with Australia. Considering Australia also won their opening fixture , the outcome of the match in Seattle could go a long way to determining who finishes top of Group D and secures a theoretically easier route through the knockout rounds. Elsewhere, Brazil will be expected to reach a higher level against Haiti while Morocco and Scotland clash in Boston, where the Tartan Army have been adopted by the locals. Here is your complete guide on how to watch today’s World Cup games, including kick-off times, broadcast networks and online streaming options. Complete guide to all the players A visual guide to every stadium Standings Golden Boot leaders *** USA v Australia Time (ET): 3pm Stadium: Seattle Stadium How to watch United States: Fox / Telemundo ( Stream on Fubo ) Canada: TSN ( Stream ) United Kingdom: BBC ( Stream ) Australia: SBS ( Stream ) What to watch for Nobody expected the USA to dominate Paraguay the way they did in their opening match. The challenge for Pochettino and his players is to follow that up against an Australia team who will surely put up a stronger fight, at least in a defensive sense. Breaking down the Socceroos will be a test. Australia have good reason to be positive about their own chances of making it six points out of a possible six. Tony Popovic has drilled his team to be defensively dogged and lightning quick on the break, which could be a formula that sees them go further at this tournament than anyone predicted. Player to watch: Folarin Balogun, USA – the Monaco striker bagged a brace against Paraguay who afforded him the sort of space that could be at a premium against an Australia team who like to sit deep in their low block.

The Tartan Army’s booze-fuelled takeover of the city has earned Steve Clarke’s team new fans, but the team must perform at a much higher level to stand any chance of a positive result against Morocco. While Morocco could only manage a draw against Brazil to start their World Cup campaign, the Atlas Lions still demonstrated enough to suggest they could replicate their 2022 run to the semi-finals. This could be an opportunity for Morocco to make a big statement ahead of the knockout rounds. Player to watch: Ayyoub Bouaddi, Morocco – The 18-year-old was one of the standout performers of the first round of matches, controlling the middle of the pitch against Brazil. He will be influential on both sides of the ball against Scotland.

Vinícius Júnior bailed out the Seleção with a stunning equalizer to salvage a point, but Brazil have some structural issues at the moment. Haiti lost to Scotland in their opening fixture, realistically ending their hopes of making it out of the group. However, Les Grenadiers posed a threat in transition with the number of bodies they committed to the attack. Brazil should be wary. Player to watch: Vinícius Júnior, Brazil – the Real Madrid forward’s stunning strike was enough to give Brazil a share of the spoils against Morocco, but how much longer can he continue to paper over the cracks for Ancelotti?

Vincenzo Montella’s side struggled to create against a low block and could run into many of the same problems again if Paraguay are able to keep things tight at the back in the way they weren’t against the USA. Paraguay were powerless to stop the USA running over them in Los Angeles, but have much more to offer if their qualification campaign is anything to go by. Anything less than a draw would all but end their hopes of making it through to the last 32. Player to watch: Arda Güler, Turkey – the Real Madrid playmaker was restricted by the Australia backline in Turkey’s opening match, but remains their most reliable creator and goal threat in the attacking third.
