Tonight is Group C's turn to play their second round of games, which means Uruguay will face Venezuela, and Jamaica will face Mexico in this set of Copa América Centenario games.
The game against Venezuela needs to bring positive results for Uruguay after losing 3-1 to Mexico last Sunday. However, star player Luis Suarez will once again have to skip out due to his ongoing hamstring problem. This means that if the Uruguayan team is defeated, Suarez will have missed out on the tournament in its entirety as this would be the end of the squad’s run in this year’s Copa América.
"He's an important player and this is an important competition but the most important thing for us are the qualifying games for the World Cup," said Oscar Tabarez about having Suarez campaign with team for the 2018 qualification.
As for Mexico vs. Jamaica, while most predict "El Tri" will notch its second win, the match is one fans are looking forward to see as last year's clash between the two teams was pretty entertaining.
After Mexico's previous match, we now know we need to keep an eye on team captain Rafa Marquez (number 4), and the usual suspects, Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández and Andrés Guardado. As for the Jamaican squad, we will be looking closely at Wes Morgan and Lee Williamson's game and the big surprises he can deliver.
Uruguay vs. Venezuela will be played at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Mexico vs. Jamaica will be played at 10:00 p.m. ET at the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California.
