Prior to the Copa America Centenario kicking off, Jurgen Klinsmann announced that once again Brad Guzan would be his go-to starter in his moment of need. He did the same thing right before the United States played Mexico in the CONCACAF Cup in 2015. After months of the platoon, the U.S. manager decided it was time to go back to a dedicated starter for this major tournament and settled on Guzan.
The Aston Villa goalkeeper started five of the six matches the U.S. played in the Copa. Here's a look at his numbers:
Games Played: 5
Saves: 18
Goals Conceded: 7
Save Percentage: 72%
Clean Sheets: 2
Positives
With a consistent back line in front of him, Guzan settled into the tournament nicely after the opening match against Colombia.
