The USMNT goes up against Uruguay in their final Copa America 2024 Group C match at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday, knowing that anything other than a win could result in an embarrassing early exit from the tournament.
Gregg Berhalter's return as head coach of the USMNT has been marred by inconsistent performances, and they now face an uphill task to reach the tournament's quarterfinals.
If the USMNT are not able to match the result Panama get in their group-stage finale against Bolivia, this incredibly talented U.S. side will fail to qualify from a group they were expected to, at the very least, finish second in. Many people actually expected themto battle it out with Marcelo Bielsa's impressive Uruguay for top spot.
On the other hand, La Celeste have bulldozed the competition in Group C, and they come into this clash on the heels of beating Bolivia 5-0, which followed a comfortable 3-1 victory over Panama.

USA vs. Uruguay predicted lineups, starting 11, team news
Tim Weahhas been suspended for two matches by CONMEBOL for his red card vs. Panama, meaning he will miss this game plus any potential quarterfinal the U.S. could qualify for. Options for his replacement includeGio Reynamoving out wide, or the introduction ofHaji WrightorJosh Sargentto the lineup. If Wright, a natural left winger, comes in,Christian Pulisicwould likely move to the right where he plays at AC Milan.
The biggest lineup question for the United States is the status of goalkeeperMatt Turner, who was wiped out by Cesar Blackman in the last match, replaced by Ethan Horvathat halftime due to a leg injury.Turner's MRI was clean but he was limited in USMNT training on Saturday, leaving his status up in the air.

Gregg Berhalter could decide thathe needsYunus Musahin midfield, with the 20-year-old yet to start a Copa America game, but his introduction would mean either Reynamoves out wide or one ofTyler Adamsor Weston McKenniemust be dropped.
Chris Richardshas been plagued by giveaways at this tournament — if he's replaced at center-back,Miles Robinsonwould be the likely one to come in afterCameron Carter-Vickerswas largely at-fault for the Panama winner.
USA predicted XI (4-3-3):Horvath (GK)— Scally, Richards, Ream, A. Robinson — Reyna, Musah, McKennie — Pulisic, Balogun, Wright.
Injured:Matt Turner (leg, doubt)
Suspended:Tim Weah
On yellow card:Chris Richards, Antonee Robinson, Weston McKennie.
Uruguay are not mathematically through to the quarterfinals just yet, but they are essentially into the knockout stage, as elimination would only happen should they lose this gameandsee their massive goal differential advantage somehow wiped off the board.
Thus, it's possible that Marcelo Bielsa rotates his side heavily, especially considering the high-intensity style he plays. It would be valuable for key players likeFederico Valverde,Manuel Ugarte,and Ronaldo Araujoto get rest ahead of a knockout stage run.Rodrigo Betancurcould be a candidate to enter in midfield, whileJose Gimenezcould see time at the back.
Star strikerDarwin Nunezhas scored twice in this tournament, but still received criticism for numerous other missed chances, and it's possible thatLuis Suarezcould enter the lineup, having already played at this stadium recently as Inter Miami defeated Sporting KC in a special event at Arrowhead.
Not a single Uruguay player has picked up a yellow card through two Copa America matches.
Uruguay predicted XI (4-2-3-1):Rochet (GK) — Nandez, Gimenez, Olivera, Vina — Valverde, Betancur — Pellistri, Arrascaeta, M. Araujo — Suarez.
Injured:None.
Suspended:None.
On yellow card:None.
USA vs. Uruguay prediction
- Score prediction:USA 0-2 Uruguay
The USMNT will try everything they can to keep Uruguay at bay, but matching Marcelo Bielsa's side's tempo and speed of play will be an incredibly tough ask from the Americans, who look vulnerable defensively and incredibly inconsistent.
The game will be closer than most expect, but Uruguay will eventually come out on top due to their clinical edge, and the USMNT will have to hope for Bolivia to produce an upset in the other Group C encounter against Panama.
