The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) gets its World Cup quest underway Friday night against Paraguay, and as you can tell by their arrival at the stadium, there's a lot of excitement. 
The Americans are set to play their first World Cup game on home soil since 1994, and after years of buildup, it's finally time to see the team on the pitch. 
Of course, first came the arrival at Los Angeles Stadium (known outside the World Cup as SoFi Stadium). 
Fans started arriving early in the afternoon local time, ready to catch the Red, White and Blue in a World Cup match on home soil. 
Meanwhile, the USMNT posted a video that would have any red-blooded American ready to run through a wall. 
The team had a two-leg journey to get to the stadium. 
First, they took buses from their training facility at Great Park Sports Complex in Irvine, California, into Los Angeles to the hotel they'll crash in after the match. 
Then it was back on the buses to head to Los Angeles Stadium. 
The Americans are coming into the match favored at +107, according to FOX Sports, but are coming off a 2-1 loss in their last match, a friendly against Germany last week at Chicago's Soldier Field. 
Meanwhile, Paraguay is coming off a 4-0 thumping of Nicaragua in their final tune-up before the World Cup. 
The team and coach Mauricio Pochettino also got some well wishes before their first match of the tournament, first from New York Rangers and U.S. 
Men's Hockey Team head coach Mike Sullivan ahead of the match. 
Let's see some of that awe-inspiring Olympic gold medal mojo migrate its way from the rink to the pitch! 
Speaking of which, the USWNT sent their best before kickoff. 
USA and Paraguay are slated to kick off at 9 p.m. 
ET on Fox.
