July 19: Costa Rica vs. Panama
Time: 6:00 p.m. EST
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
TV: FOX Sports 1, Univision
Match-up: Costa Rica finished first in Group A, and Panama finished second in Group B. Costa Rica thrives on an organized defense and the creativity of Benfica midfielder Bryan Ruiz on offense. Panama's top players include Porto forward Ismail Diaz and NYCFC midfielder Miguel Camargo.
July 19: United States vs. El Salvador
Time: 9:00 p.m. EST
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
TV: FOX Sports 1, Univision
Match-up: El Salvador finished third in Group C, and the USA finished first in Group B. The USMNT that will face El Salvador is will be totally different from the group stage version. El Salvador will have to contend with new arrivals Jozy Altidore, Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley and Darlington Nagbe, as well as holdovers Kellyn Acosta, Dax McCarty and Jordan Morris. El Salvador are dangerous, though, particularly Nelson Bonilla and Rodolfo Zelaya.
July 20: Jamaica vs. Canada
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
TV: FOX Sports 1, Univision
Match-up: Canada finished second in Group A and Jamaica finished second in Group B. Canada have called up Orlando City star striker Cyle Larin, who will partner with 16-year-old Vancouver Whitecaps wonderkind Alphonso Davies. Jamaica, for their part, will lean on Darren Matticks and Je-Vaughn Watson.
July 20: Mexico vs. Honduras
Time: 10:30 p.m. EST
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
TV: FOX Sports 1, Univision
Match-up: Mexico finished first in Group C and Honduras finished third in Group A. Mexico are probably the favorites in this tournament, with a strike force boasting the likes of Elias Hernandez, Cubo Torres, Orbelin Pineda and Rodolfo Pizarro. Honduras have not actually scored in the tournament thus far, their only win came by forfeit against French Guiana. They have only allowed one goal, though, against Costa Rica.
