The US fell 2-0 against Columbia during the opening game of the Copa America, according to SB Nation. Manager Jurgen Klinsmann, 51, argued that his team played well, despite being smacked around in their home country. If the US loses this game, it’s over. If they play to a draw, Team USA will need some help on the last day of the Copa America if they hope to advance. Get your official Team USA jersey here.
There’s some good news, though. The USMNT hasn’t lost to Costa Rica at home in an official completion since 1989, according to US Soccer. Team captain Michael Bradley, 28, will hope to lead Fabian Johnson, 28, John Brooks, 23, and the rest of the squad to victory. However, they’ll have to get by the Costa Rican defense that held Paraguay to a scoreless tie. Get your official Columbia jersey here.
“The key is to find ways to play through a very compact, very well organized side,” coach Jurgen said, according to Goal.com, who wants his team to be ruthless in this match. “We have to find ways to find the forwards, find spots to go through. It doesn’t really matter what system you play. We have to find those opportunities against Costa Rica and finish them off.”
Win, lose or draw, the US will face Paraguay in the final game of the Group Stage on June 11. Columbia will take on Costa Rica. After those games, the best teams standing will advance. Will the USMNT get eliminated on their home turf, or will they turn it around and score the win?
