United States vs. Cuba: Reigning champ primed for title defense

The defending champion United States hosts Cuba in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Saturday in Baltimore.

United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann said the reigning CONCACAF Gold Cup champion is ready to continue on this tournament and win back-to-back titles.

Klinsmann and Co. will face Cuba at the M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday in Baltimore, with a spot in the semifinals on the line.

The U.S. advanced to the quarterfinals as the unbeaten of Group A, after winning two matches and drawing another, but the co-host has been far from impressive in the 13th edition of the tournament.
