    The United States men's national team has everything to play for in its final Copa América group stage match against Uruguay at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday. We've put together everything you need to know before the ball gets rolling.

    How to watch United States vs. Uruguay

    The match will air on FOX and the FOX Sports app at 9 p.m. ET on Monday.

    Last time out (vs. Panama)

    • The United States lost to Panama , 2-1, after Tim Weah was sent off with a red card in the 18th minute of the match and Matt Turner subbed off with a leg injury in the second half.
    • Weah's 18th-minute red card was the earliest red card for the USMNT since Jimmy Conrad got one in the 17th minute of a 2010 friendly vs. Honduras . The last team to win a Copa América match after having a player sent off in the opening 20 minutes was Argentina vs. Uruguay in 1989.
    • Ethan Horvat h is the second USMNT goalkeeper to enter as a substitute in multiple competitive matches along with Mike Winter, who did so twice in 1972.
    • The U.S. lost to a CONCACAF opponent for the first time ever at Copa América, now 1-1-1 (W-L-D). This was also its first time conceding a goal against a CONCACAF opponent at Copa América.
    • The United States has now lost four group stage matches at major tournaments on American soil, with two of those defeats coming against Panama.
    • The USMNT's roster had an average age of 25 years, 235 days on Thursday, which is the second-youngest squad the USA has sent to five editions of the Copa América, only trailing the 2007 roster (24 years and 280 days).
    • Folarin Balogun is the second USMNT player to score in consecutive Copa América appearances after Clint Dempsey (three straight in 2016). He needs one more goal to tie Dempsey and Eric Wynalda for the most career goals by an American at Copa América.
    • Panama recorded 74% possession against the United States, the highest possession figure for a CONCACAF team in a Copa América match since 2011.

    • Federico Valverde made his debut for Uruguay at 19 years old and has made 58 appearances for the national team since, scoring seven goals. He's appeared 11 times in the Copa América as a part of the 2019, 2021 and 2024 Uruguay squads.
    • Maximiliano Araújo is playing in his first Copa América, where he scored the opening goal in his Copa debut against Panama. He's played 10 times for Uruguay, scoring three times in those appearances. Araújo had a goal and an assist in Uruguay's 5-0 win over Bolivia on Thursday.
    • Marcelo Bielsa is leading Uruguay in the Copa América 2024 in his third Copa at the helm of a national team, but his first with Uruguay. Bielsa managed Argentina to a quarterfinal exit in the 1999 Copa and a runner-up finish in 2004.
