At 9:00 on July 2, Beijing time, Group C of the Copa America ushered in the third round of matches, with two games to be played, Uruguay, the United States, Panama and Bolivia appeared!
Uruguay qualified without worry
Match 1: Uruguay vs USA
Uruguay, ranked 14th in the world, did not face much difficulty in the first two rounds, beating Panama 3-1 and Bolivia 5-0 to qualify for the second game in a row. Uruguay currently have a goal difference of +7 and the United States has a goal difference of +1, which means that Uruguay is almost locked in top of the group. If they can qualify for the knockout stage as group winners, they will face the second team in Group D in the quarter-finals, and the current second place in Group D is Brazil, which is not good news for Uruguay, who can only hope that Brazil will beat Colombia in the final round.
Nunez scored in back-to-back games
Uruguay can't influence the ranking of Group D, so they can only do their best and insist on being the main one in the face of the United States team that is not as strong as themselves. Nunez is in hot form, scoring in consecutive games, can he continue to make a difference tomorrow? The U.S. is now in danger of being eliminated from the tournament and will be eliminated if they can't beat Uruguay while Panama beat Bolivia.
Weah was suspended for the next game
The U.S. team is the host of this tournament, and it is very demoralizing to lose the group stage and fail to qualify. So tomorrow there will be a life-and-death battle with Uruguay, no matter what the outcome is, and they will pray that Bolivia will be able to hold back Panama. It is worth mentioning that Weah, who was red in the last game, received an additional suspension of one game and a fine.
Panama are looking to qualify
Match 2: Panama vs Bolivia
Panama defeated the United States 2-1 in the last game, fighting for themselves the initiative to qualify, and if they can beat Bolivia, they have a good chance of advancing to the last eight. Bolivia are the worst South American team and have suffered 14 consecutive defeats in the Copa America, tying the second-longest losing streak in history and just three games away from the all-time leader's 17-game losing streak. For Panama, if they want to qualify, they don't need to mobilize in the third round tomorrow, they have to fight for three points. #头条首发大赛#
