Welcome to Sounder at Heart’s daily Gold Cup coverage. Again this year during the tournament we will have posts with information and commentary about the games. Today is the second semifinal, with the winner playing the USA on Wednesday in Santa Clara. The USMNT beat Costa Rica 2-0 last night behind an assist and a goal from Clint Dempsey.
Note that there is no extra time in the Gold Cup semifinals. If the game is tied after regulation it will go directly to penalty kicks. Keep CONCACAF weird.
This is a rematch of the 2015 Gold Cup Final that Mexico won 3-1.
