The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) began their Copa America campaign with a 2-0 victory over Bolivia in Group C. Christian Pulisic played a pivotal role in the win, which also saw the USMNT keep a clean sheet. Despite the comfortable win, there are concerns about the team's ruthlessness in front of goal, as goal difference could be crucial in the competition. The match, held on Sunday, drew significant viewership, averaging 3.165 million viewers on Fox and peaking at 4.013 million. This made it the most-watched non-World Cup soccer match in the network's history. The USMNT will face Panama next on Thursday at 6pm ET, where they are -270 favorites. Christian Pulisic is listed at +165 as an anytime goal scorer.

Winning start to Copa America? ✅ Clean sheet ✅ Ruthless in front of goal? ❌ In a competition where goal difference could be key, did #USMNT miss a trick in their win over Bolivia? ✍️ @PaulTenorio
Instead of a lopsided finish, the #USMNT settled for a two-goal win to start Group C play in Copa America. And it was spurred by Christian Pulisic — because of course it had to be. Takeaways from a comfortable victory over Bolivia ⤵️ https://t.co/EvwhLm6TaV
