Gold Cup 2017 Knockout Stage Primer

The group stage is over, the knockout rounds begin and good riddance.

I don’t care if this was an off-year Gold Cup with a lot of “B” teams, most of the group stage games were uninteresting and/or bad to watch. This perhaps goes especially for the United States and Mexico, the two best nations in the region. There were hardly any upsets to speak of and the only storylines worth mentioning from the group stage were French Guiana’s forfeit and Alphonso Davies of Canada lighting it up before getting hurt.
