A Sports Filled Weekend Ahead
The Copa America Centenario begins on Friday night and the beleaguered United States Men’s Team doesn’t have an easy path out of Group A. Its first game, against Colombia, ranked No. 3, in the world, will clearly put coach Jurgen Klinsmann on the spot. He has set a berth in the final four of this soccer event as a goal; his team is currently No. 31 in the world. You may enjoy this match at 9:30 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1. Or you may not enjoy it.

The NBA Finals are at 8 p.m. on Sunday on ABC. The Golden State Warriors hold a 1-0 lead in this best-of-seven series that rematches last year’s finalists.
