USMNT Looks to Bounce Back Against Brazil on June 12

LANDOVER, Md. (June 8, 2024) - The U.S. Men’s National team fell 5-1 to
Colombia in an international friendly in preparation for the 2024 Copa America. The attendance mark of 55,494 was the second-highest attendance ranking for a U.S. Soccer-controlled USMNT match in Washington, DC.

In the first of two warm-up games the USA will play before hosting the 48th edition of the Copa América, Colombia’s opportunism in front of goal and ruthlessness in punishing U.S. miscues made the difference on a warm afternoon at Commanders Field in Landover, Md.

The showdown between the sides ranked 11th (USA) and 12th (Colombia) by FIFA was played at a brisk pace before 55,494 fans and featured scoring chances at both ends. The visitors were more efficient early and a potential U.S. comeback - sparked by a 58th-minute goal from Tim Weah that halved the deficit - was snuffed out by a late Colombian onslaught.
