Today has already been a great day of soccer.
The Euro 2016 group stages have been on all day, and now it's time for the Americas to take over. MLS play resumes after a two-week break and the New England Revolution are at BC Place to play the Vancouver Whitecaps. There's is rain in the Pacific Northwest, but the roof is closed and conditions will be perfect for tonight's regular season game as the Revs are coming off a midweek US Open Cup win over the Carolina Railhawks.

Also, the reason the Revolution are on the road right now, is the fact that Gillette Stadium is being used for tonight's Copa America quarterfinal between Argentina and Venezuela. The winner of that game will play the United States in the semifinals on June 21st in Houston after the USMNT advanced with a 2-0 win over Ecuador on Friday.
Mexico and Chile are in Santa Clara, CA at Levi's Stadium for the last quarterfinal matchup with the winner playing Colombia in Chicago on June 22nd. Colombia advanced thanks to this kick save from keeper David Ospina in a penalty shootout yesterday.
We'll update all three games with lineups as they come out but we can confirm Lionel Messi is starting for Argentina.
