The United States of America face Paraguay on Saturday night in Philadelphia, and they know their survival in the Copa America Centenario is on the line. But regardless of what happens to the Stars and Stripes, the event is up and running more fluidly, and the show will go on—even if Paraguay triumph at Lincoln Financial Field.
