TELL ME MORE

Uruguay are 15-time Copa America champions. Their last Copa championship came in 2011, when Diego Forlan netted a brace following an 11th-minute opener from none other than Luis Suarez.

DID YOU KNOW?

Darwin Nunez:Once again, their big striker shined. With seven straight matches with a goal for Uruguay, Nunez was dominant in the final third for the second-straight Copa America match. With two goals so far, he firmly put his foot in the race for the Golden Boot for Copa America, as he looks to lead La Celeste in their path towards the final.

THE MVP

Bolivia:La Verde are on the brink of elimination heading into matchday three. They will need a win against Panama Monday, and a dominant one at that. They will need La Celeste to top the USMNT and they will need to make up their goal differential to best the U.S. for a potential berth in the knockouts.

THE BIG LOSER

Uruguay will take on the USMNT Monday to round out the group stage. The U.S. are in must-win territory while Nunez and Co. will look to round out things atop the group.
