While Folarin Balogun boomed, Tim Weah was woeful: Rating every USMNT player at the Copa America

Chucked in as an 86th-minute sub against Bolivia, which isn't enough time to earn a grade.

To his credit, was very active for the less than five minutes he was on the field, but that's not enough to earn a rating.

He'll be thinking about that one split-second fist swing for a long, long time.

Weah's red card was the unequivocal turning point for the USMNT, who never recovered from the winger's dismissal. Weah, normally this team's calming force, lost his head for one brief moment, yet the fallout will have long-lasting consequences.

Weah will be back, but this really stings. Weah didn't single-handedly cost them this tournament - plenty of others deserve blame, too - but the winger's red card was the defining moment of this disaster.

So many chances.

Pepi had several massive opportunities to score against Bolivia, but he just couldn't put the game away. Then, against Uruguay, the USMNT's best scoring chance fell to him, but the PSV striker couldn't generate enough power on his header to threaten.

It was a tough tournament for Pepi, who just didn't have his finishing boots on when the U.S. needed them most.

Just never looked comfortable, for whatever reason. The U.S. is crying out for Richards to be a dominant, calming presence, but he just isn't delivering.

He had some good moments, but also some nervy ones as he never looked 100 percent confident, on or off the ball. He's still young, so this will get better, but this wasn't the performance the U.S. needed from the Crystal Palace defender.

It's hard to really put a finger on it, but something with McKennie's game was off this summer.

The things you can normally rely on him to deliver simply weren't there. He struggled to win duels in the midfield throughout the tournament and didn't show the energy and hard work you can usually count on him to provide. It wasn't a good three-game run for McKennie, who could have used a better tournament with is name swirling on the transfer market.

With the U.S. trying to see out a result, Carter-Vickers was thrown into the Panama game to lead a switch to a back five. It didn't work, and it could have been worse, too.

The Celtic man was a bit too reckless, coming close to giving away a pair of penalties. He was anything but calming at a time when the U.S. needed him to be.

Had one real moment this tournament, but didn't quite get it right.

The forward was a late substitute against Uruguay as the U.S. chased the game, and he had one chance to shoot blocked away. Who knows what would have happened if he laid the ball off instead? Either way, that was Wright's only real opportunity during his brief runout.

He was thrown into an extremely tough situation when asked to come in for an injured Turner and, to his credit, he did as well as you could hope.

Unfortunately, he couldn't quite get his hands on that all-important Panama goal, one that, in hindsight, doomed the U.S. Unlucky for Horvath, who came just inches away from saving the team's tournament.

The presence was there, for sure, but, at times, the lack of pace was notable.

Ream was nowhere near as dominant as he was in Qatar, which can be expected given his age. He's still one of the USMNT's best two centerbacks but, if that's still the case in two years, something has gone very wrong.

Overall, an reasonable performance from Ream, but the U.S. needs a bit more than that at this point.

Moved to a supersub role for the first games, he looked good against Bolivia, although that isn't saying much. After being left on the bench against Panama, he was thrust into the XI against Uruguay as the "MMA" midfield returned.

He struggled a bit, as did just about everyone else. Against Uruguay, Musah never had one of those highlight-reel runs he makes so often. The U.S. sure could have used a few, too.

Not a bad tournament, but it wasn't a good one either. Instead, it was defined by an unfortunate injury that ultimately led to a few "what ifs".

How does that Panama game change if Turner isn't clattered into? Does he stop either of the two goals if he's 100 percent? Would a fit Turner have done better on the goal conceded against Uruguay?

Unfortunate, really. Turner wasn't sub-par in performance, but he didn't look like he was at his best.

Made two appearances as a panic sub. The first came against Panama when he came on in the 86th minute to help the U.S. try and salvage a miracle. Then, against Uruguay, he was a 72nd-minute sub in a similar scenario.

It was a tough ask of Sargent, who, like several teammates, wasn't fully fit.

Came on as a substitute twice, but never really changed the game. Against Bolivia, he played 35 solid minutes, although he didn't face much opposition. He was given 45 minutes against Panama but, with the U.S. in panic mode, he had few opportunities to show what he could do.

The midfielder was a revelation at Real Betis this season. If he can keep that up, he'll get more chances.

Just wasn't quite himself, unfortunately for both the midfielder and the USMNT.

Adams came into camp less than 100 percent, and the hope was that he could build towards the knockout stages. Unfortunately, the U.S. didn't get there. His minutes were limited against Bolivia and Panama, but he did go the full 90 against Uruguay. If Adams is healthy, who knows what could have happened?

Played just 12 minutes off the bench in the Bolivia game, which isn't enough time to really change much. To his credit, though, he did do just about everything right in those limited minutes.

Was he great? No, not quite. However, Reyna often looked like the USMNT's best chance to make anything happen.

It's become abundantly clear that this team is better with Reyna on the field. He's a legitimate chance creator when played either centrally or out wide. Removing him from the Panama game was arguably a mistake, even if logic did say to go more defensive in that moment.

When he was on the field, though, Reyna always felt close to making things happen, even if the chances never quite came off for him in these three games.

He can leave this tournament with his head held high.

Robinson has arguably been the USMNT's most consistent player for some time and he was fantastic once again at the Copa. He just makes such an impact on that left-hand side and his presence was notable in each game.

Unfortunately for him, it never came together around him, but his individual moments were good.

Heading into the Copa America, there were so many questions about Scally. Could he step up in the starting role? Could he replace the injured Sergino Dest? What would the U.S. lose or gain with Scally in the XI?

In the end, he answered those questions. Scally was incredibly solid throughout the three games, holding down the fort on that right side. No, he isn't Dest on the attacking end, but that was OK. Scally did his thing defensively while having a few decent moments on the attacking end.

His stock is higher than it was before the summer started, which is something few of his teammates can say.

In those opening minutes of the Bolivia game, it felt like this was going to be Pulisic's summer. It didn't turn out that way, of course.

His opening goal was a stunner, but he never reached those highs again. He put in plenty of hard work against Panama after going a man down and did his best to threaten Uruguay, but he was stuck doing it alone far too often this tournament.

He didn't hurt his stock - you could argue that he helped it - but it feels like this summer could have been so much more for him.

This summer's big winner, without question.

Balogun popped up with two big goals, asserting himself as the No. 9 with this team. His goal against Bolivia put the game away, but it was the finish against Panama that really felt special. It was a fantastic hit, one that, for a few moments, looked like it would allow the U.S. to cruise.

That didn't happen. Against Uruguay, Balogun went down with an unfortunate injury, leading to another USMNT "what if". Either way, it feels like Balogun has arrived with this team, which is one small positive to take from an otherwise awful tournament.
