Staring down the barrel of a potential early exit at the Copa America, the USMNT will conclude group play on Monday when they host an in-form Uruguay at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
The United States men are in a vulnerable position in the group stage of Copa América 2024 after a 2-1 loss to Panama on Thursday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which puts the host nation narrowly above Panama in second on goal difference.
The Americans will likely need to defeat in-form Uruguay, their highest-ranked opponent in Group C, on Monday in Kansas City to advance without outside favour. They must better the result Panama gets in their group stage finale against Bolivia to avoid the embarrassment of early elimination.
As for Uruguay, La Celeste have been exceptional in their two games so far, beating Panama 3-1 and hammering Bolivia 5-0.

Uruguay team news
Luis Suarez, Rodrigo Bentancur and Giorgian de Arrascaeta could all come into the starting lineup, while Manuel Ugarte, Federico Valverde and Darwin Nunez may get a rest.
Still, whatever team Uruguay puts out there is filled with incredible talent and head coach Marcelo Bielsa will be eager to win the game and go through as group winners, as the prospect of facing Brazil in the quarterfinals is looking a little easier than facing Colombia right now.
