In the Bolivia game, the U.S. Honestly, I don't think it's going to be easy for the U.S..
While the U.S. is the host and receives a lot of support wherever it goes, the U.S. didn't do very well last year, including defeating powerhouses such as Colombia and Brazil in several warm-up matches before entering this year's Americas.
It's a good thing for this team that they just won the National League of North and Central America and the Caribbean because it gives experienced players like Gisdian Plessy as well as Yanhoe Fenbauer Lekadu Berbee and Maletiman the chance to shine.
There is also some pressure on them as hosts, knowing that if they want to go far in the Americas they will have to get three points from their first game against Bolivia on Sunday. In their next two group games they will face Panama and a rather tricky Uruguay, so they know that today's battle is the one they are most likely to win in the Americas.
Bolivia have failed to score in two of their last three games, and they could only score one goal against Andorra in March, so they're not looking good in this match. But South American teams have done well in the past against inviting nations and other national teams, so you have to take that into account as well. Also, they will be used to the hot weather in Texas as they are also a hot country so it won't affect the players.
It seems to me that this could be a closer game than people expect, and it will end with Bo.
