USA vs. Paraguay, Copa America 2016: Confirmed lineups and match thread

It all comes down to these 90 minutes

Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports

The moment of truth has arrived. The United States men's national team are 90 minutes away from either booking their spot in the knockout rounds of the Copa America Centenario or going home disgraced as a host country getting eliminated in the group stage of a major competition.

The U.S. will likely only need a point to survive and advance as Costa Rica would need to pull off one of the most remarkable wins ever over Colombia -- at least a six-goal margin of victory -- to have a chance to overtake the USA in the group.

Only a loss will guarantee elimination for Jurgen Klinsmann's team. Faced with that threat he has decided to stick with the same starting 11, it could be a the same 4-3-3 we've seen in the first two matches but expect to see a switch to the 4-4-2 as we saw against Costa Rica.

The match kicks off at 7:00 p.m. ET and will be broadcast in English on Fox Sports 1 and in Spanish on Univision. Announcers for the match have not been announced but it is expected that Landon Donovan will be in studio for the pre-match show that begins at 6:00 p.m.

United States Lineup: Brad Guzan; DeAndre Yedlin, Geoff Cameron, John Brooks, Fabian Johnson; Gyasi Zardes, Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Alejandro Bedoya; Clint Dempsey, Bobby Wood

Paraguay Lineup: Justo Villar; Paulo Da Silva, Gustavo Gomez, Fabian Balbuena, Miguel Samudio; Derlis Gonzalez, Victor Ayala, Celso Oritz, Miguel Almiron; Antonio Sanabria, Dario Lezcano
