Today’s clash between the United States and Paraguay has direct implications on which sides will advance from the Group stage. Colombia vs. Costa Rica’s outcome will also play a factor, and will surely be one to watch.
With six points through two matches, Colombia is cruising down easy street. They are automatically through to the next round and would claim the top spot with a win or draw against Costa Rica, who currently sit in last place. In fact, Colombia could earn the top spot even with a loss, if the U.S. and Paraguay finish without a winner.
