Colombia routs sloppy US 5-1 in Copa America warmup, extends unbeaten streak to 22 games

Associated Press  

— Matt Turner kept falling to the field, the American goalkeeper punching the ground in frustration. It was the Americans’ first four-goal loss since a 4-0 defeat in a 2016 World Cup qualifier at Costa Rica that caused the U.S. Soccer Federation to fire coach Jurgen Klinsmann. “From the 75th minute on, it was I think a lack of respect for our opponent, the game of soccer and what we were doing.” Jhon Arias put Colombia ahead in the sixth minute after the ball deflected to him when Robinson tried a sliding clearance without checking who was near. “They just had a different intensity about them that we didn’t have.” The U.S. has six losses and two draws against the Colombians since 2005 and is winless in five games against South American opponents since 2019. “This game will help us understand that when we don’t do the things we’re supposed to do, we’ll get hurt really quickly.” The U.S. faces Brazil in another friendly on Wednesday at Orlando, Florida, then plays its Copa America opener on June 23 followed by matches against Panama and Uruguay.
