USA preview: Hoping for a good showing at Copa America
After losing to Panama in the Gold Cup semi-final last year, the USA national team will be hoping to show more at Copa America, especially since they're hosting the tournament as preparation for hosting the next World Cup.

Predicted lineup: Turner (GK), Scally, Richards, Carter-Vickers, A. Robinson, Adams, Musah, McKennie, Weah, Pepi & Pulisic

Bolivia preview: Can they prove they're not the worst team in South America?
With five losses in their last six games, Bolivia keep showing why they're the lowest-ranked South American national team. Last time at Copa America in 2021, Bolivia was eliminated in the group stages after losing all four of their matches at the tournament and things haven't gone much better for them since.
Meanwhile, Bolivia are without Jairo Quinteros and the 16-year-old phenom Moises Paniagua. The first one is injured, while the youngster couldn't travel to the USA cause he didn't get full parental authorization.
Predicted lineup: Lampe (GK), Medina, Haquin, Jusino, Sagredo, Saucedo, Terceros, Villamil, Vaca, Fernandez & Ramallo
