Panama is on the list more than once, twice scoring big upsets over the U.S. men's national team
With a chance to advance to the Copa America quarterfinals, the United States suffered a shock loss to Panama on Thursday, falling 2-1 after Tim Weah picked up a red card in the 18th minute of play. While the USMNT has lost to Panama in the Gold Cup, that wasn't their top team that played on Monday night as this will become one of the biggest upsets that the United States has suffered in recent years.
Bringing Gregg Berhalter back for a second World Cup cycle after falling in the round of 16 to the Netherlands in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar was a decision that was met with some resistance but it's one that, at least publically, most of the players on the team wanted. Now they're faced with a situation where to save Berhalter's job they probably need to at least get a point off of Uruguay and realistically they'll need to win to ensure advancement to the knockouts despite the fact that Uruguay are all but into the next round.
