After winning the inaugural Concacaf Nations League last month, the U.S. men's national team returns to the Concacaf stage with its Gold Cup opener against Haiti.
The USMNT is coming off a 4-0 friendly win over Costa Rica on June 10 that came just three days after its thrilling extra-time win over rival Mexico in the Nations League final that enraptured soccer fans across the country. Gio Reyna, Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic each scored in the 3–2 final win, but none will be available for the Gold Cup.
Actually, only four players (Reggie Cannon, Sebastian Lletget, Jackson Yueill and Kellyn Acosta) from the Nations League win are on the USMNT's Gold Cup roster.
