The group stage of Copa America has come to a detailed and with that it is time that we are saying goodbye to the US and Mexico, and so the Energy Rankings have taken fairly a shakeup. Venezuela have been one of many largest winners of the match thus far whereas Peru are among the many largest losers however the place do the groups stand after the conclusion of group stage play? Let’s have a look.
1 |
Argentina |
– |
After wrapping up an ideal group stage, even with Lionel Messi lacking the ultimate match, there isn’t any purpose for Argentina to budge from the highest spot. Lautaro Martinez discovered the again of the online twice in opposition to Peru and even with Messi’s health as a priority, it is a full staff which are starting to discover ways to discover their footing with out their talisman. |
2 |
Uruguay |
– |
The highest scoring staff within the Copa America group stage, Uruguay are legit contenders for the title. The targets come from in all places however Darwin Nunez’s management of the assault has been spectacular. Whereas he takes some photographs that he should not, Nunez presses relentlessly and retains the protection on edge making issues simpler for his teammates. |
3 |
Colombia |
– |
You do not go 26 matches with no loss due to nothing and by successful their group, Colombia has set themselves up for a conflict with Panama. The problem is that in the event that they win that, Brazil or Uruguay can be up subsequent, so it is necessary to take Panama critically whereas hopefully reserving vitality for the subsequent spherical. |
4 |
Venezuela |
+2 |
Searching for a signature win, La Vinotinto took care of Jamaica scoring three targets which could possibly be the jolt they want forward of dealing with Canada. One of many solely South American groups together with Ecuador to not win Copa America, might this be the yr? |
5 |
Brazil |
+2 |
It would not really feel like Brazil ought to stand up the ranks however drawing Colombia is a reputable consequence. The problem is that Brazil will now be with out Vinicius Junior of their match dealing with Uruguay as a consequence of yellow card accumulation. On one hand, contemplating his kind, that is not a foul factor, however when dealing with prime groups on the planet a staff wants their greatest gamers out there. |
6 |
Ecuador |
+2 |
Turning issues round after Enner Valencia’s crimson card of their opening match, Ecuador are proper again on monitor, aside from one problem. As a result of not successful the group, they’re now pitted in opposition to Argentina within the quarterfinals. It is a monumental activity, but when they succeed, it could possibly be a landmark consequence. |
7 |
Canada |
+2 |
One in all solely two Conacaf groups to qualify for the quarterfinals, the Jesse Marsch period main the Canucks is off to a great begin, defensively no less than. Solely permitting two targets in group stage play is spectacular however solely scoring one purpose regardless of taking part in two matches in opposition to groups who completed with 10 males reveals that there’s a lot room for development. |
8 |
Panama |
+5 |
I might just like the lottery numbers for those who had Panama making it to the quarterfinals, however they took care of enterprise in opposition to the US and Bolivia to make it this far, though it is going to be robust to advance a lot additional with Adalberto Carrasquilla nonetheless suspended. |
9 |
United States |
-5 |
It was a catastrophe of a match for the US and could possibly be one which’s felt for a very long time if the federation decides to maneuver on from Gregg Berhalter. From poor selections to not pushing the tempo sufficient, there’s a lot that should change for the USMNT. |
10 |
Mexico |
-5 |
Equally to the US, an overhaul is required. The problem is that Mexico are already on their second coach because the World Cup, so it is more durable to simply assume that even a training change can be sufficient. |
11 |
Costa Rica |
-1 |
The Ticos could also be out of Copa America however their subsequent technology is in good palms. Drawing Brazil is the spotlight of the match, but additionally having the ability to see off Paraguay is a formidable consequence for a staff shifting on from their golden technology. |
12 |
Chile |
+2 |
If Chile might preserve 11 males on the pitch, they could have made the knockouts. A stout protection nonetheless by some means led by Claudio Bravo was onerous to attain on, however the assault did not carry their finish of the job. |
13 |
Paraguay |
-1 |
At this finish of the rankings, there is not a lot good to say. Paraguay has younger expertise that could possibly be good sooner or later so possibly taking their lumps this yr could possibly be fruitful. |
14 |
Peru |
+1 |
See, Chile. However Chile no less than prevented dropping twice. Peru is a staff whose subsequent technology cannot come quickly sufficient. |
15 |
Jamaica |
-4 |
Lacking Andre Blake in a giant approach, the Reggae Boyz protection wasn’t up for Copa America regardless of being drawn into a bunch with none main purpose scoring groups. Simply bringing in Premier Leauge gamers is not sufficient. |
16 |
Bolivia |
– |
Bolivia scored a purpose and took some photographs, that is a optimistic. |
