USA.

>> It's been a dream to go to a World Cup game, period. But here in the US, this is going to be awesome. 
>> As the US men's national team opens its World Cup bid against Paraguay and the biggest sporting event in the world returns to US soil. 
Algarado is crossing. 
That's the go he was LOOKING FOR. 
IT'S ROUND. YESTERDAY, it was Mexico defeating South Africa 2-nil before an ecstatic home crowd in Mexico City. 
Tonight, the US men's national team determined to prove they belong on the world stage. 
>> Now, having a World Cup on home soil, it's uh it really is something special for us. 
>> All eyes will be on star player Christian Pissic. 
The 27year-old dubbed Captain America, widely considered the most talented American player of his generation. 
I feel we we have a bit of an advantage just knowing each other so long. 
>> Defensive midfielder Tyler Adams plays professionally in England, but says when the US team comes together, they have an edge.

>> We look over here, we see security. 
There's law enforcement officers everywhere you look. 
But you guys are really concerned about what's in the air. Drones. 
>> That's correct. Drones is one of our biggest concerns, but obviously we take all threats seriously. 
>> Law enforcement using the latest tech to keep aerial threats offside. 
How many miles are we talking that you guys are are watching to make sure no drones come in? 
>> Yeah, we've got several square miles here. 
As you can tell, it's a giant area and we've blanketed it with our counter UAS and ground intercept teams. 
There's a zero tolerance policy. We will be sighting and seizing your drone if you violate a temporary flight restriction. 
For the team tonight, it's all about the action on the field. 
>> I think that's the main thing, knowing that we left everything that we had and we can be proud of our performance and that the country can be proud of us as well.
