The first match for the USA team in Copa America 2024. The CONCACAF team defeated its Bolivian counterpart 2-0.
Only three minutes were enough for the Stars and Stripes to break the opponent’s net. With a right hand from Chsritian Pulisic, AT&T Stadium stands filled with joy after “Captain America” scores.
The difference between the templates was noticeable from start to finish. According to Transfermarkt, the US XI is worth $215 million, which is abysmal compared to the $15 million the site valued Boliva at.

The team led by Gregg Berhalter had the potential to score a bigger result, but a lack of finishing power prevented that.
Among the names highlighted by the American national team are Pulisic and Giovanni Reyna. In the case of the Milan striker, his performance was not only outstanding in opening the scoring, but he also had an assist in the second goal and was an important part in creating the attacking match.

For his part, Reyna’s level affected the high attacking volume of the United States, which, although not fully reflected in the final result, weakened the fence defended by Guillermo Viscara on more than one occasion.

At the moment, the USA team’s performance can be described as the best performance of a CONCACAF team. Although the only criterion at the moment is Mexico, the impression left by Pauliso Berhalter far exceeds that of Jaime Lozano.
Furthermore, this will be the fifth time that eleven North American players will compete for the cup. The best results were fourth places in the 1995 and 2016 editions.
