When the United States faces off against Colombia at 9:30 p.m. ET tonight, it will mark the beginning of the biggest and most unique soccer tournament to hit American shores since the 1994 World Cup.
It's the Copa América Centenario and it's going to be amazing.
Think of it as the South American continental championship on steroids. A stacked field of 16 national teams, half of which are in the top 25 of the FIFA World Rankings, will compete in a one-off tournament to celebrate the South American confederation's 100th anniversary. The catch is that the tournament will be hosted in the United States for the first time and will include six national teams from CONCACAF.
