KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- After failing to qualify for their World Cup last year, the U.S. men's soccer team is following the American women in France as their World Cup.
"We've been watching every game and paying close attention," defender Tim Ream said Tuesday ahead of the U.S. group stage finale against Panama in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. "They have our full support."
The U.S. and Panama are both 2-0 and have clinched berths in the quarterfinals on Sunday in Philadelphia. The Americans would clinch Group D with a win or a draw and would face the second-place team from Group C: Jamaica, El Salvador or Curacao.
