United States, Mexico are Nations League favorites but face tough tests vs. Honduras, Costa Rica

After a yearlong postponement due to the coronavirus pandemic, the CONCACAF Nations League finals kick off this week, and there are plenty of storylines to keep track of ahead of Thursday's semifinals and Sunday's final in Denver.

The United States -- featuring Christian Pulisic, Sergino Dest and Giovanni Reyna -- will have to get past always tough Honduras to potentially set up a championship clash with Mexico. "El Tri" are without Raul Jimenez, but they still boast Hirving "Chucky" Lozano and Jesus "Tecatito" Corona as they prepare for a veteran-laden Costa Rica side that is missing Keylor Navas.
