USA vs. Curaçao, Gold Cup 2019: Scouting Curaçao

The United States Men’s National Team continues its Gold Cup run, as it faces Curaçao in the quarterfinals.

The Caribbean nation has punched above its weight and will hope to achieve a historic upset. It enters the quarterfinals after finishing 2nd in Group C (losing 1-0 to El Salvador, defeating Honduras 1-0, and tying Jamaica 1-1).

Before 2010, the nation of Curaçao was one of several islands that made up a single nation: the Netherlands Antilles. The Netherlands Antilles holds a 0-1-1 all-time record against the USMNT, although the sides haven’t met since the 1980s.
