Clint Dempsey, Bobby Wood lead U.S. vs. Colombia in Copa America opener

Clint Dempsey, Gyasi Zardes and Bobby Wood get the start up front in Jurgen Klinsmann's 4-3-3 formation as the United States open Copa America Centenario play versus Colombia.

The midfield is anchored by Michael Bradley, who takes up a deep-lying role for the U.S., with Alejandro Bedoya and Jermaine Jones playing ahead of him on the flanks.

Starting in the center of the defense is Geoff Cameron and John Brooks, with DeAndre Yedlin and Fabian Johnson on their right and left, respectively.

Klinsmann's team is on a roll in 2016 heading into the match with Colombia, having lost just once this year on the road against Guatemala.

The U.S. face a strong Colombia team that features Real Madrid's James Rodriguez and Juventus' Juan Cuadrado in the opener, with the upper hand in the group likely going to the winner of this match.
