USA Thrash Costa Rica 4-0 To Keep Hopes Alive

Goals from Jermaine Jones, Bobby Wood, Graham Zusi and Clint Dempsey, who also bagged two assists, saw the USMNT demolish a distraught Costa Rica at Soldier Field in Chicago.

Nobody saw it coming, but the US Men’s National Team’s resounding 4-0 victory over Los Ticos has seen them leapfrog Costa Rica and Paraguay to land in a qualification spot for the first knockout round of the Copa America.

With Group A still to see another game later in the evening between Colombia and Paraguay, a draw is the best outcome for the interests of the US, while a Colombia win would set up a winner-take-all encounter on June 11th between the ‘States and Paraguay with the victor moving on in the tournament.
