Can USMNT win Group C in Copa América?
With Uruguay in the group, no, but it's not impossible. Panama in Bolivia won't cause any problems for us
No, Uruguay will top group C
NOOOOO
I'm Uruguayan, and Uruguay is not impossible to beat, but it is very very very F****ng hard to beat, especially now. I don't think it would be outrageous to see the US top group C, but they'd need to bring their A+ game and have a bit of luck on top of that to do it. There is a shorter difference today between the US and Panama or Bolivia, than there is between the US and Uruguay.
No absolutely not
I’m surprised Alexi doesn’t think Uruguay is a stronger team than us. You only need to say that Uruguay recently beat Argentina and ended their non beaten streak
Uruguay has the youngest team in conmebol at the moment. Top two team in this tournament for sure. Araujo captain of Barcelona, Valverde captain of Real Madrid, Suarez Captain of Gremio and best player of the year in Brazil, Ugarte best number 5 in France, Nuñez most goals in SA qualifying and one the best Strikers in the world, Arrascaeta best number 10 in Brazil, Gimenez still playing a pro level in Atletico de Madrid, Pellistri Manchester United, Bentacur one the best midfielders in the premier league playing for Tottenham. Also Uruguay won the Under 20 World Cup, none of those kids are playing in the main national team. I only see great future for Uruguay. ...and to top it off Marcelo Bielsa is getting the best of these players as a team. Good luck to any body paying Uruguay, is not going to be easy to beat them.
Buena análisis 🇺🇾
I actually agree with Alexi. This isn’t a young team anymore. They’ve been to a World Cup. Our standards should be high, no matter who we’re playing. I’d say, anything less than a semi-final appearance at Cope America is a failure.
So be ready to be disappointed 😔 because Uruguay,Brasil and Colombia are superior than USA 😊
If you finish 2nd you get brazil in the 16s..
I don’t think 🤔 it’s a failure if you lose with Brasil 🇧🇷 or Colombia 🇨🇴 ( my prediction is Colombia win his group)in a close match. Another story is if you lose in a embarrassing 😳 way
@@sasukebyakR8 + brazil is trash
The only way your NT would be able to have a remote chance to go into semi-finals is if it wins its group over Uruguay, so it doesn't have to play Brazil in the QF and play with the second best of Group D, which, on paper, should be Colombia.
Uruguay and Argentina will play the final game.
Funny because Argentina let Uruguay win last game but this will be different
@@mncfatelchapo8670
I believe Uruguay will for the 16th time.
@@Its-a-Sign nah they can’t beat Argentina or Brazil again I promise you
Just wait for 🇺🇾🇺🇾,unless something dark happens, like imaginary penalty
Ecuador vs Brazil final
Has Lalas seen Uruguay play? They run like cheetahs. Their midfield could be argued to be one of the best in the world at the moment. They have the captains of Real Madrid and Barcelona on their squad. The best #5 in France with Ugarte. Darwin is the leading scorer in WC Qualifying. Because of their speed, their counter attack is deadly. Their high press is incredibly effective as their opponents don't even have time to breath let alone try and break out. They are defensively sound as Uruguayan teams have always been and have the ability to win the ball back quickly. They can play very physically as well if that is what the game warrants. All this in just 5 games under Bielsa. Their top players are 22-25 years of age and waiting on the wings are their entire Under 23 World Cup Champion team. This team is good already but has the potential to be scary good by this coming summer. This is a team preparing for the the next WC, not just the Copa America. Anything is possible as we all know but my money is on them. My apologies if I have repeated what has already been said.
I went to college with Lalas. He's a moron.
Lalas is just a self glorified ignoramus when it comes to football..May be he knows something about soccer, but that's exactly the mental, cultural barrier that separates American football (what they call soccer) from the main stream that could take them to a higher level.
the best 5 in France? A 16 year old from Ecuador finished his career months ago
Man I'm Brazilian my team has 4 players from the Uruguay national team we are in the final of the regional and we didn't suffered a goal on the tournament yet. We played against the champion of South America and won 2 and draw 1 for 0-0.
US ain't beating no Uruguay. You're right.
the mentality Lalas has about the game with Uruguay is perfect except for one thing, he is understimating Uruguay a lot, first of all he is correct about the way USA should see uruguay but he is not correct at the level Uruguay has, is Uruguay at the same level of the Netherlands? it is over that level, this Uruguay team is getting prepared for one thing, winning the world cup, do you think a two times world cup winner wanting to win the world cup again is crazy? with players in real madrid, barcelona, liverpool, manchester united, psg, it isn't, Uruguay is not only over the Netherlands currently but they are prepared to go toe to toe with the best national teams in the world, France and England, Argentina and Brazil, they beat the world champions in their home soil, and you can argue how a bankrupt country with no money like argentina paid the refs and bought the world cup, this team disappeared france in a world cup final for a whole 75 minutes and went toe to toe agaisnt them until the very last, they are world champions and they got smashed by Uruguay, if you go to the Uruguay not expecting a world champion level team then you will get smashed
Correction - two time World Cup Winners but four time World Champions.
btw Uruguay are currently the u20 world champions, the USA can't even make a semifinals in youth world cups, Uruguay is a football nation, they are prepred and trained to achieved higher highs than the USA, the objective of Uruguay is not to win against strong teams, is to win the whole things, expect that level
Alexis you are out of your mind . Uruguay is the clearly the favorite
USA cannot beat Uruguay, can defeat Panamá but Bolivia maybe! Bolivia's long time #9 Marcelo Martin's just retired and maybe the team might rejuvenate and change their system. It's a toss up!!
Bolivia’s the worst team at the tournament. If we can’t beat them, we have bigger issues.
Bruhhh! All the South Americans teams are good. They not like CONCAF’s Haiti, El Salvador, Guiana, etc… Bolivia can go in and play a defensive game the whole 90 and just steal a tie a point from the US.. they shouldnt overlook no one.
Us can definetly beat
Uruguay they are a difficult team with a lot of emerging talent.
@@watching789lol. What r u smoking? They will beat Bolivia, draw vs Panama and lose to Uruguay.
@@watching789It will end 4-0 in favor of Uruguay
The inconsistency of this team is what makes me believe that this team will have a hard time going through the second round.
To be honest about our status: there is no settling for less than a final four. We will either play Argentina or Brazil and I can accept a loss to either. And that loss we accept to go to the 3rd/4th place game needs to be a close game 1-0; 2-1; 2-0 at worst. If we aren’t making a statement of honest growth and a showcase of ability and lessons learned, then we lying to ourselves about our soccer program and future.
😂🤣🤣 youre not even leaving the group 🇺🇾
I really wanted Bielsa to be our coach but ended up resigning Berhalter make that make sense to me smh
Oof. Sorry USA. Uruguay top the group and Panama finish second. Wont be easy though. It will be a fascinating group to see unfold
Panama is not finishing second.
Panama ain't that good
Do not underestimate Uruguay...the US better be on their A game
Bolivia has a new coach, vamos Bolivia!
Lol worddd… Lalas needs to chill! All south americans, all of them, are serious competition, no one is an easy ride, this aint concaf teams like: El Salvador, Haiti, Guianna, etc… Bolivia can spoil the USA run by stealing a tie
Bolivia is a tougher challenge for USA then Panama.. they dont really play each other like Panama plays USA in world cup qualifiers.. i would expect Bolivia to go in trying to steal a tie. A tie would kill US in standings
No I believe usa could beat bolivia, panamá can be a bigger threat to the isn't, just remember that panamá beat us in copa oro and it beat usa in the octagonal.
Bolivia it's weaker than Costa Rica , Honduras etc
@@HectorVega-xj2qw less than today Honduras yes less than today costa rica I am not sure, since costa rica is having a real hard time, they have a lack of good replacement for the 2014 team veteran and it is having a change of coach that is still adapting to the team and the environment of Concacaf. Costa rica new coach, Gustavo Alfaro, is a very competent coach but it will have trouble to set a team with the international Ayers of costa rica,since he will not having them it until next fifa dates,and would not get to know throughtfully, he does not know them completely yet as the Panamá thrashing of costa rica 6-1 on the nation league games proved, instead I think Gustavo will emphasize on the local players upt until the copa América and in that time he will assemble the team in accordance to whom he seem fit for the team that he is already coaching in Costa Rica...
Hola muy buenas!! Alexis Lalas? Ví jugar a ese hombre en la copa América 95' en Uruguay! Buena selección de USA en ese torneo. Uruguay está armando el equipo que irá al mundial, la copa América sirve de pruebas, pero Uruguay tiene la obligación de ganarla y llegar así a la copa número 16 y pasar a Argentina en torneos logrados!! Saludos desde 🇺🇾
Sólo rezo para que ningún jugador salga lastimado. ❤️🖤
😂😂😂
Alexi is dreaming they will win the group
Most of Concacaf people and fans tend to do that when they're about to face Conmebol. They're pure hope, wishes and sometimes even arrogance, until reality hits them in the face.
I'm tired of hearing about Usa B team..The whole team is a B Team.Stop hyping USA they are Over rated.There best player is not even the best player in Concacaf.
I'm a huge USMNT fan. Gregg Berhalter has shown us nothing to indicate the USMNT will win the group. Based on the teams' previous performances. Finishing third in World Cup qualifiers, Copa America qualifiers finish second. Unfortunatly, USMNT will not win the group.
Uruguay are developing a golden generation, they will be genuine world cup contenders over the next decade. 2nd place to them is not something to be embarrassed about. Tbh I rate us chances against Brazil better than against Uruguay.
Where opponents can hurt usa the most is on defense, anyone can clearly see USA is very weak at defending, Netherlands and Germany exploited and leveraged our weaknesses on defense at maximum level against us
The arrogance of the Mr.Lalas is something that's systematically deep rooted in American social culture especially.The best team talent wise with a deep bench is Uruguay not united states lets be keep it real united states is not even second in that group from talent perspective .
Uruguay has been amazing under bielsa
USA will get to the QF at least. Uruguay will top the group.
I agree Uruguay is a very good team. Solid, lots of player commitment, fighting spirit. And they know how to close the game if they lead.
Unless it's a complete disaster. I don't think we should change the coach 2 years before a World Cup. It is impossible to recreate a team base in such a short time.
Wow Lalas…your USA glasses are not allowing you to see clearly. Uruguay has talent and is well coached…I need to get me a pair of your glasses…
No way we win our group with Uruguay... They've got some REALLY good players right now
Lol they’re really looking past Bolivia and Panama they’re in for a rude awakening
Sorry bro but as a USMNT hater even I know both those teams r bad
I am from Peru, and I think that the final of the 2024 Copa America will be between Brazil and Argentina, but be careful with the USA, it is above almost the other American teams, so I would not be surprised if it gets into a final if Argentina or Brazil stumbles along the way
Hola a todos!! Uruguay se está preparando para el mundial, no significa que no le dé importancia a la copa América, la cual obtuvimos 15 veces, somos los mas ganadores junto a Argentina de éste torneo, creo que sabemos jugarlo! Pero eso no te asegura la clasificación! Para mí USA y Uruguay seran el 1 y 2 del grupo, no importa el orden, porque ésto es fútbol y todo puede pasar!! Saludos cordiales desde 🇺🇾
It’s a great opportunity for US to show their great players
Absolutely. But beware of Uruguay. I think it'll be the revelation team of the contest. Uruguay's a soccer country and now they have the smart winning mentality of Argentina with Bielsa. They're creating a brand new competitive beast.
a team that already has 15 copas america is never a revelation
For the past 13 years it's been a surprise when Uruguay do badly, not that they compete.
Can they? Yes.
Will they? Maybe. Maybe not lol
The Us team will not win the group. They will probably not even take second place. Panama looks like to be the great surprise in this tournament. I think the Us will fall short to qualify for the quater finals.
The US has had pretty bad results in Kansas City lately
Which games have they played at Kansas City?
Hello Alexi. Latin America - "Anyone but US".
los latinos en el lacio (Italia), IBEROAMERICA o HISPANOAMERICA, ENTIENDELO!!! corky...
You guys are back to discounting teams out of hand again. Reality. You are not getting out of the group.
I am sure that Cavani will be called up for the Copa America, he is a monster up front
We don’t have a good coach to help the player to get to the next level. So we shouldn’t expect much in copa America. We just don’t have that coach, and we are the underdog in the copa America.
After getting a taste of USA players in MLS, I hope that Suarez' doesn't also get a hunger for them and start biting our guys.
With all due respect, I think that US Soccer is losing valuable time with Berhalter, since its team needs to mature a clear, efficient soccer idea that brings out the best in its squad, and the best way to test it is with the double date of March and put it to the test in the 2024 Copa America so that it becomes stronger and reaches its peak performance in 2026, and Berhalter is evident that he is not the ideal one to achieve it, so we have to wait for the Copa América to end. 2024 will be a waste since it will not have any other litmus test until the 2026 world cup, since the 2025 gold cup is not a serious test tournament. A TOP coach is needed who can take the team to a higher level, since there is talent, but not yet a mature and consolidated team, and it would be a great shame if that talent is diluted in promises but without important achievements.
Uruguay should look at Cavani if Suárez is a problem or can’t physically go. Cavani has been such an underrated and under the radar striker and a team first guy
They are out of the National team already. Uruguay just won the U20 World Cup. They are unbeatable.
I wouldn't say Cavani has been underrated at all. He's one of the top scorers for Napoli and PSG and secon in goals in Uruguay only to Suarez. Uruguay just got the two best strikers of our history at the same time. I love Cavani, but Suarez is better. And they are both 36 yo. It's Nunez' time now. And he's looking very fit with Uruguay!
@@Pabimra85 agreed it’s Nuñez time. Agreed Suárez has been better and is better. I’m just saying Cavani has less of an ego and would be a team first guy. Suárez has an ego and could be a locker room problem if he isn’t more team first
@@giles815 I agree with you there, though I think there is a caviat to be mentioned there. Suarez has an ego no doubt that is clear given his interviews and social media posts, but within the team he actually is a team player. Nuñez has mentioned relentlessly how much support he has received from Suarez. But still, I'm with you and Bielsa on that one, if there is even a chance that a Suarez presence in the locker room could throw a wrench into how Uruguay is functioning right now.... A 36 yo Suarez will end up doing more harm than good. Even if he is top 5, number 9 strikers in History.
@@giles815 moving to a US player. It's really a pity that Gio Reyna is not getting more minutes at BVB. What a player! He could be elite if he gets a bi more experience and more minutes! Thoughts?
Agree with the great Mosse.⚽
Not even nepotism will save Berhalter if the usmnt crash out in the QF at the very least. Its either a semis spot or the final.
This arrogant and overrated US team ain't topping Group C.They're not even reaching the Semifinals either.They may have gotten lucky in the past.But not this time.
We have the player pool to win group C but we lack the coach with the ability to get everything out of that player pool.
El Dr Tavares!
This guy has not seen Bolivia played watch how they get surprised 😂😂
Gio rena and sergino dest is the best is the best machine ever play the game too as we recognizing paraguay
USA finishes Fourth.
Lalas drumming up false hope
If there is an inclining? (Lalas is a questionable expert and I am using that term loosely)... what about Gregg is not an inclining? He has the greatest talent in the region and still was not dominant. The only time the US looked dominant was when BJ was the coach and since then, when Gregg returned and had 3 international windows... the US at best underwhelmed or just flat out disappointed. I think the US should have gone with a different coach because Gregg was not working.
Urugay have a lot talentd who re playing in good club in europe
I think usmt ll good advanced from
The groupe urugay ll gouoe winner
That ginger getting to Alexi 🧠 USA doesn't stand a chance against Uruguay they will get smashed
Usa will be fighting for 2nd
9:45 WHAT!!!!! "This is about Greg Berhalter learning to play his way through a tournament." This is the USMNT! Any coach tasked with leading this team should be a seasoned professional, not some amateur LEARNING ON THE JOB! On the contrary, this is about US Soccer learning to make the right choices in the front office. Of all the talented coaches they could've selected to lead this golden generation, they chose Berhalter. SMH.
Panama advancing 2nd
We need gio Reyna playing bigger team maybe man city or madird
Uruguay will score no less than 3 against each team on group c
No they won't, South American teams when facing each other do not score lots of goals. A lot of the lower ranked South American teams play very defensive and play rough. Results like that are hard to come by.
@@obitouchiha4739 I don't understand your reasoning. Even if what you say Is true (which it isn't), group C has only one south american team, Uruguay. I keep my prediction of Uruguay scoring 3 goals against all the group C teams, but time will tell.
@@derlibero9668The fact that they're underestimating Uruguay is crazy.
The problem whit the US National teams Is that they have no pressure yo win.
Bolivia Is a good team Uruguay you can be very scare and Panamá Will do every thing yo Best the us
Group C teams, you all one job... group this US team.
😂 USA will be lucky to come out of this group. Can they beat Uruguay? Absolutely NOT!
Can they beat Panama? I seriously doubt they can beat Panama.
I get it, you have to look confident so your people come out to the stadiums and support the USA. But in reality, you can already book that "L" against Uruguay and then you're off to a game with Panama who we've seen is no easy task for USA and then it's Bolivia who "they say" is the weakest team of them all here and if your players are also thinking that way that's whats gonna bite you in the @ss.
uruguay lost to fance not portugal in 2018
The only thing I dislike about UD football players is they paly hurting others not a clean way to play.
Come on alexis be real dont comment with feelings , uruguay will go tru , though panama for US n a conmebol team. If you pass you will face brazil , game over. Be real man . I know you are inyecting confidance on US , but be real .
There is Noway GB will win any games
Don't blame the coach when they lose Alexi, the skill level is just not there. Expectation is low because skill level is low. Alexi, what did you ever win during your playing years?
Bro These Americans
Uruguay smoking 4-5 past US
They be second and they can thank god after whatever happens in the tournament
This is Copa America , Not your everyday Wednesday gold Cup
People die here , players make their career here and careers are destroyed
This is more than just soccer
There's no scenario where USA beats Uruguay, Uruguay wins easily 3-1, 3-0. USA might be Panama and hardly Bolivia. USA will go through because they'll make 4 points maybe and Uruguay will beat everyone.
This group is easy for both Uruguay and the U.S.!
You look like you still 9 years old. 😁
They will come in second at best lol
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
Brasil is not doing that well. This is the time for the USA to make history. I do not know for how long Brasil will be doing this bad, so this is the moment.
Winning against a brasil that's playing tras compared to their best would mean nothing, it would be like lying yo yourself saying you're as good
England and Spain playing home couldn't beat Brazil in the worst moment without 5 or 6 players, with players from the local league in the squad, with a new coach and with 17 years old kid on the pitch. Good luck to US on this making history thing.
USA can win their group it if they bring their A Game but the most important thing is just Qualifying for next stage.
mucho entusiasmo yankee...
@@user-jz4ku9qc6g 😮🤯🤭🤣🤣
USA winning the group? You are either dreaming or drinking real bad booze.
I love Lexi!
they would play Colombia in the next round. Colombia is better than usa
But tyler Adams gara play this game to win it all, cause usmt needs a great defender like tyler Adams
United States goes last.
You all should be scared of Uruguay
not scared of Uruguay? That's because you (Lalas) have historically over valued the US teams. Have you not seen what their players have been doing in the European leagues? Yes, they are definitely batter than the Netherlands. If it wasn't for the refs, gifting them a win vs Ecuador, Netherlands would not have advanced in the WC. Stop it.
Team usa must be in the final.No more excuses please.
Heh. Even if you pass the group stage, you have to win to Brazil/Colombia next. None of them easy to beat
We have a good team,will be ready to put up a fight.
@@abegebreys514and you lose in the cause
Alexis is a MAGA lover
They are lucky they are playing in their own ground let the U.S go and play Bolivia at home lol they will get swept
Keep in mind South American teams even though they are realky good they dont have the resources neither the specific diets or physical therapist. These players played with no expensive best shoes or energy drinks like Messi mention he doesn't agree withvtaking all those weird energy drinks he was offered at Miamis team
Anything can happen now we will see.
The dumbest and most racist comment I ever read.
Alexis the racists...
Men usmt is loaded with all stars and i don't see the reason why they won't beat other teams.
What players you consider stars?
Players that are respected at an international level:
Christian Pulisic
Folarin Balogun
Gio Reyna
Sergiño Dest
Tyler Adams
Weston McKennie
Ricardo Pepi
Tim Weah
Both goalies… this is a respectable team! This aint a team led by Landon Donovan, Beasley and Altidore anymore.
@@AB-lm6dy😂
You guys are delusional if you think you can win this group and if you go in with this arrogance even Panama can beat you
Alexis lalas is very unrealistic
USMNT WORLD CUP WINNER. Fix is in. Don’t sweat small stuff like Copa America

Yanks are deluded, your team is average.
