Colombia def. Paraguay 2-1
USA v Costa Rica
USA came to play in this match. After a weak showing against Colombia, the USA dominated in this one, using counter-attack style play to score goals against the Costa Rican team. The USA have moved into second place in Group A, and are now energized and confident, and will be ready to go against Paraguay by Saturday. As for Costa Rica, they are more or less on their way out. To advance, they need to beat Colombia by at least 4 goals, and hope that Paraguay can beat USA, neither of which are likely to happen.
Colombia v Paraguay
Colombia once again played a good game, and defeated Paraguay 2-1. Colombia has now clinched a spot in the knockout round, and, unless they lose to Costa Rica on Saturday, will win Group A and face off against Group B's runner-up in the quarterfinals. While they would have liked to have won, this defeat is not crippling for Paraguay. Now, all they have to do to advance is beat USA, and hope that Costa Rica doesn't win by 4 or more (which almost certainly won't happen). However, if Paraguay and the USA tie, the USA will advance.
