As the Copa América Centenario’s group stage has concluded, the quarterfinals are beginning with the first game played between Ecuador and the U.S. team.
Ecuador might be the stronger team in the game, but U.S. team coach Jurgen Klinsmann said they will be the underdogs “no more.” "The whole old story is the underdog story, and I cannot hear that story anymore," he assured. “I want to see them risk things. Let's go for it. Because if you're not going for it, sooner or later they're going to break you down.”
The other teams playing in the Copa quarterfinals include Peru, who will be facing Colombia, Argentina will be playing against Venezuela, and Mexico will face Chile.
While Argentina is a clear favorite to win the tournament with superstar Lionel Messi, the most highly anticipated match in this round could potentially be Mexico vs. Chile, as the two powerhouses have proven to be on the same great level during the group stage matches.
Ecuador vs. U.S.A will be played at 9:30 p.m. ET at the CenturyLink Field, Seattle.
