Realistic expectations for this tournament considering it is played in our home?

Sgt Brutus · May 29, 2016

Group A:

USA
Columbia
Costa Rica
Paraguay

Idk if we even make it out of the group stages... Columbia and Costa Rica are both good teams

COPA America Centenario | USA 2016
Teams | COPA America Centenario | USA 2016

overall Argentina and Brazil are the two obvious favorites

I disagree, it's a tough group. Could easily lose to Colombia, tie Costa Rica and beat Paraguay.

Could come down to goal differential with Costa Rica.

You should bet on it with that type of conviction.

I'll say this. The lineup that stared the second half agains Bolivia needs to be our lineup against Columbia. I'm so sick of Beckerman. Bradley and Jones are much better switching off I this center mid spots and Bradley's long passes from back there are beautiful. Also, I love the top 3 of Wood, Dempsey, and Zardes running all over the place and causing havoc.

Agreed, 100%. I really like Wood.

Any predictions for Friday's game?

Going with a 1-1 draw

I think that's a good prediction. Though I think we've got enough offense to score more, we've also got the defense to give up more. 1-1 or 2-2 I think is a good bet.

Once we don't lose we're in good shape. If we lose we kind of need to get all 6 points from the other 2 games in the group

This team could either really surprise us or really disappoint us. I'm not sure which though.

We can make it far if we somehow finish 1st in our group and avoid Brazil in the knockout round. Finish 1st and we're likely facing Ecuador or Peru. Should be good enough to get us to the Quarter Finals which would be a success IMO

1:2 USA v. Colombia

I think it's a well contested game and Colombia's talented youth scores late (injury time goal) to win it.
