The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) has been eliminated from the Copa América after a 1-0 loss to Uruguay in Kansas City. This defeat, coupled with Panama's victory over Bolivia, ensured that the USMNT did not advance past the group stage in Group C. The loss has sparked significant criticism of head coach Gregg Berhalter, with calls for his removal growing louder. The USMNT's performance has raised concerns about the team's preparedness for the 2026 World Cup, which the United States will host. Key players and analysts have expressed disappointment, citing a lack of quality, tactical issues, and a low xG of 0.29 as major factors in the team's early exit.
