US vs. Colombia, Copa America 2016 live stream

“It is a wonderful opportunity to finish this off this tournament on a very high note”, Klinsmann said.

On the whole, a third-place finish would be a worthy achievement for Jurgen Klinsmann’s side. All six CONCACAF teams lost at least one game by more than two goals, and Haiti lost two by that margin whereas only two South American teams had losses by more than two goals – and both were to top-ranked Argentina. Overturning that 2-0 result against the No. 3 team in the world is just one potential reason to take the field on Saturday.

The Third Place match is set to kickoff at 8 PM ET at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona and can be seen on FX, Univision, and UDN. Klinsmann has said he wants to win this game and also in that article above he’s starting Tim Howard in goal after serving as the backup to Brad Guzan all tournament. The long weather delay caused by serious storms in the area meant that Colombia’s travel and player recovery plans got thrown seriously out of whack, giving the U.S.an even greater advantage in rest and preparation than they would have had with the extra day they were already working with.

Many are speculating that this move indicates wholesale changes for a third place match that will feature a weaker American outfit for Saturday’s consolation match.

As has been the case for most of Klinsmann’s tenure, the USA in the Copa America have taken care of business against opponents they should’ve beaten (Paraguay, Costa Rica and, to a slightly lesser extent, Ecuador) and lost to more talented sides (Colombia, Argentina).

“This game tomorrow is another opportunity for the guys – before they go in all directions again – to show everyone that we are growing, that we are getting stronger”, he said.

But there are injury concerns surrounding Fabian Johnson and John Brooks. Many U.S. fans will hope, too, that there are places for Darlington Nagbe and 17-year-old Christian Pulisic, who were both restricted to roles off the bench against Argentina. Heading into the final weekend, the average attendance for Copa matches was 46,000 people, which is remarkable considering the tournament was organized in just seven months and in danger of being canceled a year ago because of the Federation Internationale de Football Association scandal.

Dominguez’s comments came as Chile and Argentina prepare to face each other in Sunday’s Copa America final in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Meanwhile, Colombia had a good opening to the competition by beating USMNT.

I’m not going to debate that last sentence, but after an absolutely inexcusable performance against Messi, what the Klinsmann and the US need to do is show up.

The United States defeated Ecuador 2-1 and Colombia defeated Peru in penalty kicks in their quarterfinal games.

Alejandro Bedoya, right, will be back against James Rodriguez and Colombia after a suspension kept him out of the semifinals. And, like Klinsmann, Pékerman is eager to make the most of the third-place contest.

The Dutch national team manager eventually softened that stance-“There is still something for us to do here”, he said-and three days later the Netherlands gathered itself and beat Brazil, 3-0, for bronze.

Of course, Colombia will be thinking much along the same lines. The United States, by contrast, has won five World Cup games in the past half-century.
