The U.S. Men’s National Team started their CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign nicely last week, earning a comfortable 4-0 win over tournament debutants, Guyana. The scoreline was a little kind of the Americans, three of the goals coming in the second half, one of which was a fluked header, but the win is all that matters in the end.
Nevertheless, if the USMNT are to go deep in the Gold Cup and even defend their title, they will have to play better than what they did on Tuesday, starting at the weekend against Trinidad and Tobago.
In that vein, here are three players who must step up to the plate on Saturday against Trinidad and Tobago.
