Three weeks after the United States Men’s National Soccer Team face Colombia in the opening match of the Copa America Centenario, the two countries square off again in a match that will stream live to decide third place in the historic Copa America Centenario, the 100th playing of the soccer championship of the Americas — hosted in the United States for the first time.

Though the United States team won’t be playing for the tournament championship after suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to the legendary Lionel Messi and Argentina in a semifinal showdown, the USA can claim the all-time championship of hosting the Copa America.
The 2016 edition has already smashed the tournament’s attendance record, and with an expected sellout crowd of 81,000 for the Final in East Rutherford, New Jersey, 1.49 million fans will have attended a Copa America game — topping the previous high by more than 350,000, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
While the one-sided loss to Argentina, currently the FIFA top-ranking national team, was a disappointment, the USMNT achieved the goal set by Coach Jurgen Klinsmann of reaching the tournament’s final four.
Even though USA team Captain Michael Bradley, following the loss to Argentina, questioned the purpose of playing a third-place consolation game, Klinsmann sees the match as a tremendous opportunity for his team.
“This third-place game is huge for us, absolutely no doubt about it,” Klinsmann said Thursday, according to Sports Illustrated.
“We’re talking about third place in a Copa América, so we take this very very serious with a lot of pride. Obviously, we got a lesson from Argentina in the semifinals and we give them all the compliments they deserve, but now this is a wonderful moment, a wonderful opportunity for our players to prove a point,” he said.

A victory over Colombia on Saturday would give the United States Men’s Team their best finish in the history of the Copa America. The last time the team reached a third-place game was 1995, when they also took on Colombia only to walk away in defeat.
