A collective sigh was lifted in the United States footballing world on Thursday night. The United States is going on to the 2016 Copa America semifinals.

After years of wondering when the United States might have a chance at winning a major international title it appears that the answer may be imminent. At least if nothing else the team will have two more games and the chance to best their 1995 Copa America run where they finished fourth.

With the United States waiting to see whom they will play (Hey, if Peru can beat Brazil anything can happen between Argentina-Venezuela) the other questions are starting to seep in. With questions come hopes and fears.

So with either Argentina or Venezuela waiting here are ten hopes and one fear for the United States entering into Copa America play.
