Time flies, and before you know it, the sixth month of 2024 is coming to an end, and as the weather gets hotter, for football fans, this summer will also reach its climax. At present, the European Championship and the Copa America are in full swing, and the teams that are concerned by the outside world are also getting better

In terms of the European Cup, after the competition in the group stage, Croatia, Poland and other teams are unfortunately out, and the top 16 teams are all released, and the 1/8 finals are about to start. In the first round of the knockout round, there will be a lot of strong conversations, such as France vs. Belgium, Switzerland vs. Italy, and of course, Germany vs. Denmark

As the host team of this European Cup, the German team finally showed a different performance from the sluggish form of the tournament in recent years, with 2 wins and 1 draw in the group stage, and scored 8 goals, the most of all participating teams. As for Denmark, although they did not perform well in the group stage, as a team in the last semi-finals, they will definitely pose a huge threat to the German team. Of course, as the host, the United States, the host team of the Copa America, obviously cannot compare with the performance of the German team

At 6 a.m. Beijing time on June 28, the second round of the Copa America group stage continued, in a match in Group C, the host team United States team played against Panama, this game was played at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Atlanta. In the first round of the group, the United States beat Bolivia to get off to a good start, while Panama lost to Uruguay and missed the first win. The U.S. team naturally hoped to take advantage of the victory to chase down two consecutive wins to qualify early, but the result backfired, the 10-man U.S. team was reversed by the same 10-man opponent with two goals in a row after Balogun scored one goal, and finally lost 1:2 to Panama, suffering the first defeat of the tournament

Throughout the game, the United States was behind Panama in all technical statistics because they received a red card in the opening 18 minutes and were at a numerical disadvantage for 70 minutes. In particular, the gap is even more different in many important statistics such as ball possession, shots on goal, shots on target, number of passes, and pass success rate. Although the United States are currently ranked 11th in the world and Panama are only 43rd in the world, Panama were undoubtedly the better side in this game, allowing the United States to suffer a humiliating defeat on their home turf

In this Copa America, the U.S. team is worth as much as 346 million, ranking fourth among all participating teams, second only to the "South American Three" Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, and the team has Pulisic, Balogun, McKennie, Robinson, Reyna and many other powerful players, it can be said that it is at the peak of team history, and this unexpected defeat undoubtedly gave the U.S. team a blow to the head. In the final round, they will face the strongest opponents in the group, Uruguay, and in order to secure qualification, the United States will have to do everything they can to win, which is obviously not an easy task, and as the hosts, it will be a great shame if the United States fails to qualify from the group
