- U.S. Loses to Colombia to Finish 4th in Copa America
- How do you feel about the direction of the United States men's soccer program? Tell us. If you see something, say something.
- Fair?
Personally I would be ok not getting through group stage if we saw proactive play and affirmative answers to both those questions.

— Pablo Maurer (@MLSist) June 26, 2016 - "The US squad, which played a flat 4-4-2 against Colombia in this one, no longer seems like it's on the verge of collapsing in upon itself as they did last summer, and as they did in March at Guatemala in a World Cup qualifier. At the same time, however, this tournament only reaffirmed the gap between the US and the world's best teams, rather than going any distance toward closing it."
- Why not play the reserves?
