It all comes down to this.
That may sound dramatic given it's still the Copa America group stage, but the U.S. men's national team is in serious jeopardy of not advancing from a pool comprising Uruguay, Panama and Bolivia.
The U.S. put itself in a good position after handling Bolivia 2-0 in the group opener, but things quickly went south in the second game versus Panama. Tim Weah was issued a red card in the 18th minute, and though Folarin Balogun put the U.S. on top first, Panama scored twice after to steal a 2-1 victory.
Now the U.S. needs a result against high-flying Uruguay -- likely a win -- to avoid being grouped as Panama could advance in second place instead.

What is Uruguay's FIFA international ranking?
Uruguay, as of FIFA's latest international ranking on June 20, is ranked as the No. 14 men's international team. For comparison's sake, the USMNT is at No. 11.
However, the rankings are not an end-all measurement to compare teams. Uruguay is led by the better manager in Marcelo Bielsa, though he'll be facing a touchline ban versus the U.S.
Luis Suarez, Darwin Nunez, Ronald Araujo, Federico Valverde, Manuel Ugarte, Jose Maria Gimenez and Rodrigo Bentancur are among the key stars who play for top clubs across Europe, so the U.S. will definitely not have it easy.
