Tata Martino hopes Uriel Antuna isn't reading this.
The Mexico manager handed Antuna a surprise start in Saturday's 7-0 win over Cuba, the first match of the Gold Cup. His faith in the LA Galaxy attacker, who made the Gold Cup final roster only as an injury replacement, paid off.
Antuna scored the earliest goal in an official match in Mexico national team history then added two more, taking home the game ball after his first Gold Cup match. While Martino was pleased for the 21-year-old, he also doesn't want him to read too much into the praise that follows.
