USMNT vs Colombia at 8 pm ET on FX for Copa 3rd Place

Unread post by asu66 » Fri Jun 24, 2016 11:18 pm

The USMNT plays its final game at the Copa Centenario, a rematch against Colombia for 3rd-place on Saturday. It's a safe assumption that both teams will use the match to test some things that wouldn't have shown up had they made the final. The last time these two teams met was in the opening game of the tourney with Colombia winning 2-0. Colombia ended up losing Group A to the USMNT, falling to Chile in the semifinals. The USMNT had no answers against Argentina, introducing another round of major issues for embattled coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The U.S. will have all its players available for selection as Alejandro Bedoya, Jermaine Jones and Bobby Wood return from suspension. Klinsmann told reporters Sunday that he will deploy “the strongest team possible” in what is another huge game for the US.

IMO Howard should have been in goal all along.
