As we move closer to June, USMNT is set to begin their Copa America journey against Bolivia on June 23rd. Colombia, on the other hand, will start their Copa America campaign on June 24th, facing Paraguay in their first match. The question arises whether the USA can successfully advance through their group in the Copa America tournament.
The Copa America edition taking place in the United States features Uruguay, who holds the record for the most Copa America wins with 15 titles, Bolivia, who has won the tournament once, and Panama. In terms of current team rankings, Uruguay is ranked 11th worldwide, closely followed by the USA at 12th. Panama and Bolivia occupy less formidable positions at 41st and 85th, respectively. Undoubtedly, Uruguay poses the biggest challenge for USMNT in their group. However, they still have a high chance of finishing in the top 2 and progressing to the elimination stages.
