A day after losing the opener of the Copa America Centenario to Colombia at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, the United States men's national team were presented with a gift from Costa Rica and Paraguay.
Not only did the other two sides in Group A play to a scoreless draw at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Ticos center-back Kendall Waston was ejected in stoppage time for a ridiculous challenge on Nelson Valdez. The absence of the towering defender for Tuesday's contest with the USMNT at Soldier Field in Chicago means the Yanks must exploit his absence.
Just like everyone else in the USMNT attack, Bobby Wood struggled to gain a foothold in the final third on Friday against Colombia.
