When does the USMNT play Uruguay in the Copa America? TV schedule, odds
Bret BloomquistThe US Men's National Team will try to avoid the embarrassment of a quick Copa America exit when it takes on Uruguay Monday.
Coming off a shocking loss to Panama, the Americans likely need a win to advance to the quarterfinals, though there are other ways through depending on a game going on at the same time, Panama vs. Bolivia.
The USMNT will be without Tim Weah, whose red card was a decisive factor in the loss to Panama, which has put the US in dire straits.
When does the USMNT play Uruguay in the Copa America?
The match is set for 7 p.m. Mountain time on Monday, July 1, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
Where is the match on TV?
It will be televised on FOX.
How is US supposed to do against Uruguay?
The United States is a slight favorite on its home turf. On the money line, USA is +145, Uruguay is +195 and the draw is +220. The over-under is 2.5 goals.
America is ranked 11th in the FIFA world rankings, while Uruguay is 14th.
What are the stakes?
Basically, the US needs to match what Panama does against Bolivia. If Panama ties, the US can advance with a tie. If Panama wins, the US needs to win and hold on to its edge in goal differential. The US enters plus-1 while Panama is minus-1.
The Americans can still win the group, but that would involve beating Uruguay by four goals.
What is USMNT's schedule?
June 23 vs. US 2, Bolivia 0
Panama 2, US 1
7 p.m. Mountain time, July 1 vs. Uruguay, Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City
