As the Gold Cup begins, I am filled with dread and hope - but oddly... mostly hope

The Gold Cup is back and it seems like the last one just ended. In two short years a lot has happened. In the same year that the USMNT managed to beat Jamaica in the Gold Cup final, thanks to manager Bruce Arena using his ability to change his roster to bring in tried and true players rather than see if younger ones could handle getting to the final against an international soccer power like the Reggae Boyz, the team also missed its first World Cup in 28 years.

Since then, much has changed.
