What They're Saying
Chile head coach Jorge Sampaoli on the omission of Arturo Vidal, per Telegrafo: "Vidal told me he had personal problems and I said that any player that's not 100 percent focused, and has any kind of issues, can tend to them instead of playing. I'm not in control of anything. I have respect and believe in my players."
Paraguay head coach Ramon Diaz on the job Sampaoli has done with Chile, per 24horas: "He's brought them to a higher level. When he took over, Chile weren't in good condition. In his little time at the helm, he's taken them to a World Cup and won the Copa America. They're a very competitive team. I congratulate him and his team."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Alexis Sanchez was an integral part of Chile's run in the 2015 Copa America. Since then, in four appearances with Arsenal, the 26-year-old is yet to open his account. He'll look to return to form on Saturday.
Chile's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Herrera; Mena, Jara, Medel, Isla; Fernández, Díaz, Pizarro; Sánchez, Valdivia, Fuenzalida
USA's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Silva, Samudio, Mencia, Moreira, Balbuena; Ortigoza, Rojas, Romero, Perez; Fabbro, Santander
