Gold Cup Finals show impact of Union on national stage

Wednesday night represents a major point in the Union franchise.

Head Coach Jim Curtin and Sporting Director Earnie Stewart have talked extensively about what it means to the team and organization to have players representing their national teams. And on Wednesday night, the Union will have two representatives in the Gold Cup Final.

For the US Men's National Team, it will be Chris Pontius, while Andre Blake will represent the Jamaican National Team.

This year's version of the Gold Cup has served as an international breaking out party for Blake, with fans around the world realizing what Union fans have long known: that Blake is a stellar goalkeeper with the ability to make highlight reel saves after highlight reel saves.
