Brazil and Peru have to fight for their lives while Ecuador have a cake walk against Haiti
The Group A chapter is closed. The USA have unbelievably topped their group following an impressive 3-2 win from Costa Rica over Colombia that sees the favorites drop into the second slot. Who they face in the quaterfinals will depend on the results from todays Group B matches.
But none of the Group B teams can afford to be complacent to force an advantageous quarterfinal match as theyre still locked in a fight just to survive their group.
Brazil vs Peru
Location: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA
Time: 8:30pm local/ET
Peru has a chance and its name is Christian Cueva. Hes their talisman and hes the only shot Peru has to make it out of the group stage. They need 5 points and massive goal tally to skip past Ecuador so only a win will do. The same applies to Brazil where Philippe Coutinhos hat trick in Brazils 7-1 win over Haiti, but they could settle for a draw depending on how the earlier game shakes out.
Ecuador vs Haiti
Location: Metlife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
Time: 6:30pm local/ET
Ecuador are really in the driving seat as their final group phase match sees them pitted against Haiti who are the group punching bags. If they can better Haiti by at least two goals the pressure is on Peru to find a way to advance. They need huge games from their midfield and especially from Enner Valencia.

In the wake of the deadly mass shooting at Pulse, a gay club in Orlando, Sunday morning, Orlando Police Chief John Mina said the Orlando shooter used "AR-15-type assault rifle" when massacring over 50 people, The New York Times reported. As Slate noted in an introduction to an older piece they re-ran Sunday, the AR-15 is the same weapon used at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012, a shooting that murdered 20 children and 6 adults. The same type of automatic rifle was used in the Aurora, Colorado movie theatre shooting in 2012 that killed 12 people and, as The Trace noted, in the shooting in San Bernardino, California in December that killed 14. All of which left many members of the public confused Sunday about why these weapons are legal and angry that they have not been outlawed.
(Update: The FBI has updated the death toll to 49 victims. The shooter was also killed.)
In the past, gun advocates have argued that AR-15s are designed for hunting, target shooting, and home- and self-defense. In 2013, then NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre legal semi-automatic guns, "They are among the most popular guns made for hunting, target shooting and self-defense." But in the wake of the Pulse shooting, that argument isn"t carrying much sway with a mourning and terrified public.
In the aftermath many users expressed outrage that AR-15 type weapons can be lawfully obtained. (Justin Peters, the author of the Slate article, clarified that authorities often refer to these weapons as "AR-15-type" because the AR-15 is the model name of a Colt product.)
Since the Orlando mass shooting is the deadliest in U.S. history, it"s possible that Congress will again examine whether semi-automatic assault weapons should be legal. What is unclear is whether that would actually lead to a ban, given the NRA"s powerful influence in Washington. After all, 20 children were killed at Sandy Hook, and AR-15s are as readily accessible as ever.
The AR-15, the gun used in the Orlando mass shooting, has a long history in the U.S. worst mass shootings. The gunman, identified as Omar Mateen, had legally purchased two guns, the AR-15, and a 9mm semiautomatic pistol.
With the ubiquitous and aluminum rifle, the AR-15 is manufactured by many companies nationwide, and it is a civilian variant of the militarys M-16 series of rifles and carbines. Most Americans prefer it due to its light weight and its possibility for multiple modifications, as reported by the Washington Post.

As the most popular gun in the country, the semiautomatic gun has had a few tragic scenarios. Even though it has not been so commonly used in robberies, recently the gun has been used in shootings in San Bernardino, California, Aurora, Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut.
The AR-15 is chambered in a .223 cartridge, which means that the bullet diameter is about that same length, and it can cost between $800 to $180, depending on the manufacturer brand. Although it is commonly sold in a standard matte black, it can also be found in pink.
But even though it is sold to the public in its semiautomatic version, because it can be easily altered, people can avoid applying for the automatic gun through the extensive paperwork from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Also, the cost of the legally obtained automatic one can be much higher. It is unknown whether Mateens gun had been altered somehow or just remained with the original version.
After Mateen had initiated the shooting in the Pulse nightclub, he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, through a 911 phone call. During the call, he made reference to the 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon, federal officials declared under the condition of anonymity to the Washington Post.
The Orlando shooting has been qualified as the worst in Americas history, which left at least 50 people killed and many more injured. Until Sunday, the worst one had been the 2007 rampage at Virginia Tech, where 32 people died.
As Americans, we are united in grief, in outrage, and in resolve to defend our people, President Barack Obama declared while referring to the Orlando shooting. He assured the case is being investigated as a terrorist attack by the FBI.
Mateen had been on the FBI radar before, just like the Boston Marathon attackers were. He raised some concerns from his co-workers when he allegedly made some comments alleging possible ties to terrorist.
The investigation came to an end when the FBI was unable to verify the details of his comment at the time. However, the following year the agency investigated possible ties connecting Mateen to Moner Mohammad Abusalha, the first American to carry out a suicide attack in Syria.
We determined that contact was minimal and did not constitute a substantive relationship or a threat at that time, FBI Special Agent Ron Hopper said during a press briefing about the shooting in Orlando.
"I"m gonna die" texts to mother as gunman came - BBC News Media captionA French prosecutor says there were around 150 Russian "hooligans" who travelled to Marseille "well-prepared for violence"
A group of "well-trained" Russian hooligans were behind the violence in Marseille when Russia played England in a Euro 2016 match, prosecutors say.
The 150 Russian football supporters "were well prepared for ultra-rapid, ultra-violent action" and were able to evade arrest, a city prosecutor said.
Five England fans have been jailed for throwing bottles at police. One more fan is due to face immediate trial.
Two Russians have been arrested, both for a pitch invasion.
Some 35 people have been injured - four seriously, and most of them England fans - and a total of 20 people have been arrested after three days of disorder in the French city.
Home Secretary Theresa May accused Russian football football fans of bearing a "heavy responsibility for initiating violence", but said some England fans had let their country down.
Meanwhile, England manager Roy Hodgson and captain Wayne Rooney appealed directly to fans to "behave themselves".

The clashes in Marseille"s Stade Velodrome on Saturday followed England"s 1-1 Euro 2016 draw with Russia, after Russian fans appeared to rush at England supporters.
Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin told a news conference: "There were 150 Russian supporters who in reality were hooligans. These people were well prepared for ultra-rapid, ultra-violent action. These are extremely well-trained people."
This was what made it difficult to arrest them, the prosecutor said, adding that he did not think the Russian hooligans were "professional" but that they were "extreme".

He was speaking as five England fans appeared in court for sentencing, following the disorder.
The first fan to appear in court in Marseille on Monday was 20-year-old Alexander Booth, from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, who was sentenced to two months for throwing a plastic bottle at police.
Reacting to the sentence, Booth"s father Chris, who was later seen in tears, said he would "fight it".
Ian Hepworth, 41, a psychiatric nurse from Sheffield, was sentenced to three months for throwing a bottle at police and then walking forward to pick up a second bottle.
Ashley Kelly, 26, from Birmingham, was sentenced to three months in prison for throwing seven bottles outside the stadium.
Both Paul Jackson, 21, from Halifax, and Lee Phillips, 23, from Taunton, were given one month in prison.
All five have been banned from visiting France for two years each.
In other developments:
Another four people - three French and an Austrian - are due to appear in court imminently
A 16-year-old Briton was among those arrested and charged with throwing bottles
Two Russian nationals were being expelled from the country, French prosecutors said
Seven England fans are still in hospital, Mrs May told the Commons
An England fan, who is in an induced coma with severe brain injuries, has been named as Portsmouth supporter Andrew Bache, 50, known as Pepe
British officers are being sent to Lens ahead of the England-Wales match on Thursday
The French government urged cities hosting Euro 2016 matches to ban alcohol near venues
Lens, in northern France, banned alcohol from being sold
During the press conference, Mr Robin said officers were looking at pictures with foreign colleagues - Russian and English football spotters - to try to identify those involved in the disorder.
And British Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts, the National Police Chiefs" Council lead for football policing, appealed for fans with their own camera phone footage to contact crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers.

Witnesses said trouble began in the stadium on Saturday after flares were let off by Russian fans near the end of the game. Some then climbed across barriers designed to keep rival fans apart.
A number of Russia supporters appeared to kick and punch fleeing England fans, who were forced to clamber over fencing to escape.
Uefa has been investigating and has threatened to ban both teams if there is further violence.
It also opened disciplinary proceedings against the Russian Football Union for alleged crowd disturbances, racist behaviour and the setting off of fireworks.
There were 12,000 Russian fans in Marseille who travelled to the city by train, according to French prosecutors.
Sanctions against Russia will be decided at a disciplinary meeting on Tuesday, Uefa said.

Russia"s sports minister, Vitaly Mutko, said Uefa had "done the right thing" to start a disciplinary case against the Russian Football Union, R-Sport news agency reported.
But Russian MP Igor Lebedev criticised French police and called on Russian football fans to "keep up the good work".
Russia"s next match against Slovakia will take place in Lille on Wednesday - the day before England"s match against Wales, just 24 miles away in Lens.
In a separate incident not related to the disorder in Marseille, a Northern Ireland football fan died after falling from a promenade in Nice following the team"s 1-0 defeat by Poland.
Former Marine turned trainer Aaron Williamson, whos worked with everyone from The Rock to Stallone to Efron, on how the Whiplash star got so shredded up.
You caught a glimpse of them creeping out of the corners of his tight black T-shirt in Whiplash, but now actor J.K. Simmons has officially entered beast mode.
On Wednesday, trainer Aaron Williamson posted a pair of photos of the Oscar winner lifting weights at the gym, showcasing bulging biceps and veins that all but leapt through your computer screen and slapped you across the face. Simmons, who is 61, has given a whole new meaning to the old-man strength.
Wiseass Miles Teller-types beware.
Williamson is a former Marine and trainer to the stars, having helped sculpt the bodies of Jamie Foxx on Django Unchained, Zac Efron in Neighbors, and Dwayne The Rock Johnson on G.I. Joe: Retaliation(not that it needed much sculpting). The bodybuilder met Simmons on the set of Terminator Genisys, where he was training lead actor Jai Courtney. And apparently the Aussie actors physique gave the grizzled Simmons a bit of body envy.
J.K. kept telling me, I want arms like that, Williamson tells The Daily Beast. So whenever wed train together we started focusing on arms and to try and bring his shoulders out a little bit. It eventually became this goal where he could find a role where he could wear a tank top and give people a look at something theyd never seen before.
According to Williamson, Simmons has been training his body since before Whiplashwith an additional trainer, Dana Perribut in the past year the two have taken it to the next level, doing a mixture of physique training, blood volume work, and traditional weight training in order to make certain areas more round and make things pop more.
We dont do a lot of bench work, says Williamson. J.K. has little aches and pains here and there, so we do a lot of what I call blood volume training where you hit the muscle from different angles and hit it in a way where youre doing supersets and drop sets, so youre really stressing the muscle out without using heavy weights which is much easier on your joints and tendons.
Theres been speculation that Simmons is getting jacked for his role as Commissioner Gordon in the upcoming Justice League films, taking over for Gary Oldman. If hes preparing for Justice League, I dont know about it. This was just a personal goal of his he was trying to achieve, adds the training expert.

Here is, according to Williamson, Simmonss training regimen, which opens with about 15-20 minutes of cardio to get the blood moving (Note: DB = dumbbell):
Rope Pressdowns superset with Overhead Rope Pressdowns 4 sets (each) x 10-12 reps Standing DB Curl superset with 1 arm DB Preacher Curl 4 sets (each) x 10-12 reps Bench Dips superset with DB Tricep Kickbacks 3 sets (each) x 12-15 reps Standing EZ Curl Bar superset with High 1 arm Cable Curl 3 sets (each) x 12-15 reps
Seated Crunch Machine 4 sets x 15-20 reps (2-3 second contraction) Hanging Leg Raises 4 sets x 15-20 reps (controlled reps) Planks 3 sets max hold
Simmonss dumbbell weight can go as high as 50 pounds, says Williamson: In the gym hes intense and in there to get results. Were at the point right now where J.K.s body fat is the lowest its ever been at well under 10 percent.
Williamson called training with Dwayne Johnson a highlight, but the actor hes worked the most with is Johnsons Baywatch co-star Zac Efron. The two met on the 2012 movie The Lucky One, where Efron was tasked with transforming his Disney Channel body into that of a Marine sergeant, and now, after the gun show that was Neighbors, the ex-High School Musical star has become known for his buff physique.

As for how Williamson got Efron those Neighbors (and Neighbors 2) abs, well, a lot of it has to do with eating right. Zac is very, very disciplined when it comes to his nutrition, says Williamson. It wouldnt be weird for him to be out somewhere and have an alarm set where hed need to eat. Not everyone is like him in the sense of being willing to do that.
It was a lot of lean proteins, a little bit of carbs in the beginning of the day and then we taper the carbs off, he adds of Efrons eating habits. He did a lot of veggies, too. Wed do carb-rotation where hed have two to three consecutive low days of carbs and then a high day of carbs. He would eat anywhere from five to eight times a day with a protein shake or two somewhere thrown in.
In addition to dieting and nutrition, Efron put in quite a bit of work at the gym. He did every ab exercise you can think of, but a lot of plank work, a lot of hanging leg raises, a lot of crunches. A lot of people are mistaken when it comes to abs: The reality is that your abs are already there, you just need to get rid of the fatand the only way youre going to get rid of the fat is by eating right and doing cardio, he says, adding, and it takes a h**l of a lot of work.

What led Omar Mateen to attack a gay club in Orlando? BBC News Image caption Like most of the papers, Metro leads with the massacre at the Pulse gay club in Orlando, Florida, describing the gunman as "an Islamic extremist angered by two men kissing". The latter allegation comes from a suggestion by the man"s father. Image caption The Mirror says the man who "sprayed bullets at 320 revellers in the worst US terror attack since 9/11" was an "Isis maniac" following reports that he made a phone call pledging allegiance to so-called Islamic State. Image caption The Daily Telegraph reports that gay groups and venues in Britain have been warned to be on their guard in the wake of the Orlando massacre. Image caption The i"s front page highlights President Obama"s condemnation of the attack on the "solidarity of the LGBT community" and adds that links to Islamic extremists are being investigated. Image caption As well as extensive coverage of the events in Orlando, the Guardian front page carries an analysis predicting that America"s political class will "pick through the wreckage" resulting from the killings and try to explain them in a way "that suits their agenda". Image caption The Times front page is dominated by the Orlando carnage. The paper says investigators are examining the gunman"s personal records to see if he was a "self-radicalised lone wolf" or part of a plot. Image caption The Sun calls the attack "America"s Bataclan", after the venue in Paris where some 90 people were killed by gunmen last November. Image caption For the Daily Star, the warning that England might be disqualified from Euro 2016 is paradoxical. "Russian thugs" fired a flare at England fans during Saturday"s match, it says, "but WE get warning". Image caption The Daily Express reacts angrily to David Cameron"s warning in Sunday"s papers that Brexit could jeopardise government spending on pensions. It quotes UKIP"s Nigel Farage as reminding the PM that he had said Britain would "do fine outside of the EU". Image caption The Daily Mail returns to coverage of suggestions that many Turkish citizens could be allowed visa-free access to Britain and other parts of the EU, as part of a deal over blocking migration routes. The UK home and foreign secretaries have said any suggestion that Britain would ease border restrictions is "completely untrue".
Most of Monday"s papers lead with the shooting massacre at a gay club in Florida. All of them try to describe what happened, its causes and impact.
Each describes the dreadful scenes at the Pulse nightclub, where, according to a Times reporter, "suddenly the beat seemed louder and more pronounced" as the attacker started shooting.
All mention his previous, inconclusive interrogations by the FBI, and his father"s claim that the attack was nothing to do with his Islamic religion but was provoked by his anger at seeing two men kissing.

America"s political factions, says Gary Younge in the Guardian, will "pick through the wreckage of the heinous events" and try to portray the tragedy in a way which suits their agenda.
Some writers note the confident reaction of Donald Trump, who, says the Daily Telegraph, "used the shootings as a chance to boast that was "right on radical Islamic terrorism"" and attack President Obama and Hillary Clinton for being, he says, ineffectual at combating it.
The Telegraph is among those who quote Mr Trump as saying Mr Obama should "resign in disgrace" for not linking the massacre to Islamic terrorism.
Image copyright Getty Images Tense time for England fans
Amid warnings that England could be disqualified from Euro 2016 if there is more violence involving fans, the papers contain many accounts of the clashes with Russian supporters.
The French police are widely condemned for doing little to prevent the fighting. "It was disgraceful. We got no protection at all," one fan tells the Daily Mirror.
The Russian hooligan, stresses the Daily Mail, is unlike "his paunchy, drunken British counterpart"- he is disciplined, extremely fit and "motivated by extreme right-wing nationalism".
And the papers fear that mismanagement could lead to fresh clashes, with fans being advised to stay in Lille - where Russia will also be playing - when England play Wales in nearby Lens.
Writing in the Daily Mirror, Dave Kidd calls the arrangement an "astonishing Uefa blunder".
The president has been cautious in declaring the exact motivation for the attack, but the papers describe how he and others have used the event as an example of why they say more gun control is needed.
Nevertheless, says Tim Montgomerie in the Times, the massacre will ensure that US gun shops will "do a roaring trade" since many Americans believe the way to stop such atrocities is to make the attackers fear that their victims will shoot back.
None of the papers ignores the fact that the gunman"s target was a gay club. But the extent varies to which they portray the atrocity, as does the Financial Times, as a "savage attack on the US gay community" during Pride Month, and after the Supreme Court"s recognition of same-s*x marriage.
Media captionRob Merrick, Westminster Correspondent at South West News Service, and writer and broadcaster Natalie Haynes join the BBC News Channel to review Monday"s front pages.
The Telegraph says gay groups and venues in Britain have been told to be vigilant following the Orlando attack. It quotes gay campaigner Peter Tatchell as saying attacks by Islamic extremists on gay and other target groups in the West have "always been on the cards".
In the Guardian, Steven W Thrasher writes that "gay America is stronger than its enemies" and the tragedy "could be gay America"s moment to find the best in ourselves".
Image copyright PA Image caption Gordon Brown is to take a leading role in Labour"s Remain campaigning, say the papers.
In the EU referendum debate, warnings continue from opponents of a Brexit. The Times and Guardian quote European Council president Donald Tusk, who says a vote to leave would be followed by two years of exit talks, and then five years for approval of future relations by every other member state "without any guarantee of success".
But there is anger concerning the warning by David Cameron and George Osborne about the effect of a Brexit on public spending. "Voters won"t easily forgive the vicious threats the PM and chancellor have levelled at things like pensions and the Army," says the Sun.
The Daily Express claims that "Tory aides were on the retreat last night" and promising that retirement benefits would be guaranteed until at least 2020, whatever the referendum result.
Eye-catching headlines
Most of the papers report plans for Labour to conduct what the Daily Mirror calls a "10-day media blitz" led by ex-PM Gordon Brown "to rescue the Remain campaign after Leave surged ahead in the polls".
"The focus will be on Labour"s efforts to win over voters in its working-class heartlands," says the Financial Times.
It says shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn will make a speech stressing Labour"s internationalist roots.
Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, says the Times, has cleared his schedule for an "all-out push" for Remain, starting with a speech on Monday.
Image copyright PA Are cats outdated?
There is much interest in the views of Dr John Bradshaw, who says cats could be bred to lose their primeval hunting instinct, to stop them preying on unfortunate birds and bringing their remains into the house.
For 10,000 years we have prized cats" ability to hunt, but now we are put off by "blood and flesh and death," he says in the Times.
He believes we can tackle the problem by identifying the genetic differences which make cats more or less eager to hunt, according to the Mail.
The paper adds helpfully that putting bells on their collars will warn off their prey.
With the whole cat genome already sequenced, it should be possible to alter the "hunting" genes, the Telegraph quotes Dr Bradshaw as saying.
The Telegraph quotes shadow chancellor John McDonnell as saying Labour will "save" the Remain campaign, as well as remarking that "If we come out while the Tories are in power I think it will be disastrous for working people."
With many pictures still appearing of the Queen"s 90th birthday celebrations the Times combines the subject with the EU debate in a cartoon showing rain-drenched revellers in ponchos thronging the Mall.
"You said the forecasts were just a part of Project Fear," a woman chides her husband as the rain pours down.
There are claims that a ban on umbrellas for security reasons aroused some annoyance among the partygoers. "It feels like I"m in a tent in this poncho. It"s so British. We"re going to enjoy ourselves regardless," the Sun and other papers quote one woman as saying.
