US fall in Copa America third place game against Colombia

The United States' Copa America run has officially ended after the final whistle blew in the third place game on Saturday against Colombia. They lost frustratingly by a score of 1-0, getting plenty of chances on goal and playing like the better team for most of the match, but they couldn't find a way to beat those floppy, unsportsmanlike Colombians. Carlos Bacca deflected a Santiago Arias header past Tim Howard in the 31st-minute for the winning goal.

It was a much better performance for the US compared to the absolute disaster that was the semifinal, but it somehow wasn't good enough to beat those Colombians, who the US lost to in the group stage and in Olympic qualifiers as well.
