United States men's national team defender Tim Ream said his team must set the tempo early in Sunday's Copa America opener against Bolívia.
Shaka Hislop discusses whether the USMNT have an advantage against Bolivia as hosts ahead of their Copa America clash. "We have to come out with an intensity, with a desire to impose ourselves on the game and make sure that we're the ones that are doing the right things and creating the feel and the intensity of the games," Ream told reporters on Thursday at the Cotton Bowl."It's going to be important for us to do that from the first minute.
Bolivia, however, is under new management as of last year with the appointment of head coach Antônio Carlos Zago, a former Copa America winner withas a player in 1999. The USMNT expects a more aggressive Bolivia team at Copa América based on the changes that Zago has made. "So, for us, it's going to be a challenging game. It's a game for us to understand what this tournament is really all about and how much it means to all these South American countries as well. So I think we got a taste of that in the friendlies, but now that the lights are really on, it's important for us to put our foot down and put out a good performance."
