The only option tonight for the U.S. men’s team should be a win against Guadeloupe. Many thought a victory against Panama would be the result of last Saturday’s game, but Panama had something different on their minds. The Americans looked flat to start the game and decided to rev their engines well after Panama took the 2-0 lead. The U.S. had many opportunities...
