LOS ANGELES — How good is good enough? How deep do the USA have to go? Is the style in which they play important too? These are the key questions facing the United States and Jurgen Klinsmann ahead of the Copa America Centenario.
Chile showed in 2015 the boost a host nation can get at a tournament. Their fans filled the streets and the stadiums and virtually the whole country roared their team on to victory.
The LA Times say "nothing less than advancing to the semifinals" will do for Klinsmann, and that seems to be the consensus among fans, too, with the penultimate stage of the tournament being a recognised achievement landmark.
