Coming off its best performance of the 2017 Gold Cup — and arguably the only good one — the United States Men’s National Team finds itself in the championship match against...Jamaica? The expected showdown with Mexico never materialized, thanks to the insanely good goalkeeping of Andre Blake and a late free kick goal by Kemar Lawrence on Sunday night. A complete performance by the Reggae Boyz allowed Jamaica to pull the 1-0 upset of El Tri and advance to the title game.
Bruce Arena has rotated his squad liberally throughout the tournament, which has worked out well, including in Saturday night’s 2-0 win over Costa Rica.
