The U.S. will host the World Cup in two years. The U.S. soccer federation will not have a better chance to make soccer explode here for at least another three decades. After crashing out of Copa America, the Americans can’t go into the World Cup with the same coach.
It’s been a while since Colombia came out on the wrong end of a match. Los Cafeteros have been on an incredible run, avoiding defeat in 25 consecutive matches. The last time Colombia came up short was in February 2022, and that came against world champion Argentina.
While the United States fights for its life in Copa America, Panama attempts to take full advantage of the Americans’ previous failure.
Uruguay are talented and disciplined, the latter of which the Americans have sorely lacked. With Tim Weah suspended and Matt Turner banged up, this is going to take the Americans’ best match to keep their tournament going.
While the United States fights for its life in Copa America, Canada is set up for a triumph. Les Rouges took care of business against Peru, and they now have a golden opportunity against an aging Chile. Once upon a time, this would have been a frightening fixture for the Canadians, but La Roja isn’t the team it once was.

The biggest question in the American camp is how they’ll handle a side that can actually press forward. Bolivia never came close to threatening to get back in the match. Panama is a step above that, but it’s still a side that the Americans should handle. Whether the U.S. plays to its potential will tell a lot about what to expect as the matches get tougher.
Unlike the Euros, only two sides per group qualify to the knockout stages. Losing to Argentina wasn’t a surprise, but it does put the pressure on Canada. To progress, the Canadians need results against both Peru and Chile.
Not only did the Americans land one of the weakest groups in the tournament, but they open with the weakest side in the tournament in Bolivia. The Bolivians haven’t won a match in the Copa America in nine years, losing 10 straight in the tournament.
