OT: Copa America Centenario - USA vs. Colombia 8:30pm CDT, FS1
And here come the lads! USA (ranked 31st in the FIFA rankings) versus a strong Colombia team (ranked third) in the opening match of the Copa America. The game is at the 49ers' stadium in Santa Clara, California. I don't think the line-up is out yet, but I see (on Bigsoccer.com):
G - Guzan
D - Johnson, Cameron, Brooks, Yedlin
M - Bradley, Jones, Bedoya
A - Wood, Dempsey, Zardes
GO USA!!
Had softball game on - were there any subs at HT?
Yedlin had tons of space and he shanked it bad

Pulisic, Nagbe and Zusi warming up
Ha. Same motion they ran. Of course, theirs went in.
So here come arguably our best two players with 25 minutes left to play. Maybe JK was waiting for Low to get back to him and tell him if they were the right subs.

Don't they help determine World Cup seeding?
Yes, they do.
how does Zardes have this bad of a first touch still?

Bedoya. Sheesh.
I can volley a ball into the stands with the best of 'em

Excellent point.
Truly a dismal game for pretty much everyone on the side.

Gold Cup was atrocious, no Olympics.
But we won a couple meaningless friendlies against teams that didn't care a year ago. So yay?

At all.

I'd take almost anyone, but unfortunately I don't see it happening.

It's 2 years away, that puts us 6 years away from being relevent for a World Cup.
When we're bounced from group stage here, let him go and maybe someone else can build on the young talent we have now.

There's an enormous gap in technical ability, especially first touch, between the two sides. It's about the gap you'd expect between Real/Milan/Juventus on the one hand and mostly MLS on the other.
Maybe it's a testimony to how far we've still got to go in this country that so many people here can't even see the difference.
