5) Will the suspensions affect USA in the semi-final?
Trending
The victory for the USA today wasn’t without its warts. In a tensely contested game, both the USA and Ecuador were reduced to 10-men in the second half after a melee ensued between the sides.
For the hosts, Jermaine Jones was given a straight red for pushing an Ecuador player, whereas Bobby Wood and Alejandro Bedoya each picked up a yellow that will keep them out of the semi-final, where a potential mouth-watering clash with favourites with Argentina awaits them.
That will surely be their biggest test in the competition thus far, and the USA are huge underdogs going into the game. And now without three of their regulars, it’s going to be tougher for the hosts.
Can Jugen Klinsmann pull a rabbit out of his hat once again and save USA ? Or will the might of Lionel Messi and co. prove to be too strong for them ? Only time will tell.
