The USMNT's Copa America campaign on home soil begins today in Texas, as they face Bolivia in the opening match of Group C in the tournament. With Panama and Uruguay to come, Gregg Berhalter's side will be confident of getting off to a winning start.
Their pre-tournament friendlies don't suggest that three points are a given though, particularly after the Stars and Stripes were dispatched 5-1 by Colombia in a Maryland humbling last week. A 1-1 draw against Brazil in Orlando a few days later was much more encouraging, but now the hard work really begins for the USMNT at their home tournament.
Bolivia should provide a tough test in Texas, but aren't on the level of their more storied South America neighbours like Brazil, Colombia and 15-time winners Uruguay — who the USMNT will face on July 1 in their final Group C match.

USA vs. Bolivia predicted lineups, starting 11, team news
Gregg Berhalter will likely run out a starting lineup very similar to the one that played against Brazil in the final Copa America tune-up friendly.
There were questions coming into the summer about how the U.S. would replace injured right-back Sergino Dest, but Joe Scally won the job with a pair of brilliant performances in the warm-up matches vs. Colombia and Brazil. It’s expected that Folarin Balogun will start up front despite his slow start to life with the U.S.
Josh Sargent made the USMNT Copa America roster despite foot concerns which kept him out of both pre-tournament friendlies, but it’s unclear if he has recovered in time to play a role in the opening game. Tyler Adams was only rated for a substitute role against Brazil and may not be ready to start just yet.
USA predicted XI: (4-3-3): Turner (GK) — Scally, Richards, Ream, A. Robinson — Reyna, Musah, McKennie — Weah, Balogun, Pulisic.
Injured: Josh Sargent (foot, doubt)
Suspended: None
Bolivia have seen a switch at goalkeeper in recent months as 31-year-old Guillermo Viscarra has won the regular starting job over 37-year-old veteran Carlos Lampe and has 55 international caps.
The back line is anchored by Bolivar veteran Jose Sagredo, while his twin brother and club teammate Jesus Sagredo has also seen recent national team time. While Bolivia have many veterans in the squad, the anchor of the next generation is playmaker Ramiro Vaca who has 34 caps at 24 years old, having scored international four goals so far.
Bolivia predicted (3-5-2): Viscarra (GK) — Je. Sagredo, Haquin, Jo. Sagredo — Saucedo, Villamil, Justiniano, Vaca, Fernandez — Menacho, Miranda.
Injured: None
Suspended: None
