The United States Men's National Team are back in action for its second game of the 2024 Copa América tournament, where it will face Panama at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Thursday, June 27 at 6 p.m. ET.
In the first game against Bolivia, the U.S. team displayed a strong performance, with Christian Pulisic opening the scoring early and Folarin Balogun securing a 2-0 victory with a goal in the 44th minute. This victory was a testament to the team's unity, and Pulisic, now the face of the national team, led the charge with his 30 goals in 69 international appearances.
Now, the USMNT has shifted their focus to Panama, a team that is also determined to keep their Copa America dreams alive after coming off a 3-1 loss to Uruguay.

Joe Tansey writes: "Panama will be a tougher foe than Bolivia. The team is more talented than the South American side and is coming off a 3-1 loss to Uruguay that was 1-0 until chaos broke out in the final five minutes. However, the USMNT should control the contest and will have the better chances throughout the 90 minutes. Berhalter could reward Pepi's second-half effort against Bolivia with a start, or he could ride with Balogun up top and hope he is more lethal in front of goal. Regardless of who starts at striker, Pulisic will be the key to the U.S. attack. He was the catalyst for Sunday's fast start and scored with a great strike to produce an early lead."
Staff writes: "MasseyRatings has the USMNT 18th overall in their power ratings with Panama clocking in 41st. Their game model views the United States as 53% likely to get the win and move to 2-0-0 in Copa America 2024's Group Stage."
Jason Ence writes: "Seven of Panama’s last nine competitive fixtures have featured 3+ goals, including a 3-0 defeat to Mexico and the 3-1 loss to Uruguay. And while the clean sheet against Bolivia was the second competitive one in a row for the Yanks, it was also one of only three matches from their last nine competitive outings that featured fewer than three goals. Panama doesn’t tend to do well when they play on American soil, having conceded 15 goals in their last four visits. The USA will be looking to rack up some goals to keep up with Uruguay for tie-breaker purposes, but also will face a bit more threat to their back line. All these factors should lead to at least three goals being scored on Thursday night. "
Staff writes: "We are predicting the United States to win, with a 73.0% chance of winning this match, based on the moneyline."
