Colombia 2, United States 0 - Three Thoughts As USMNT Drop Copa America Opener

A rough day in California to start Copa America 2016 has the USMNT back to the drawing board as Colombia takes an early perch atop Group A.

That was not a good performance from the United States. In fact, had it not been a largely mediocre game from Colombia as well, the final score could have been a lot worse.

Cristian Zapata headed home the opening goal in the first ten minutes and James Rodriguez added a penalty right before halftime to give the favored Cafeteros a 2-0 win over the Americans to start Group A play in the Copa America Centenario.
