USA vs. Costa Rica: Why United States Will Extend Winning Streak

Yes, the United States already has two wins in the Gold Cup and has clinched its spot in the next round. But truly, the tournament begins on Tuesday night for the Americans, as the team will face its first real test against Costa Rica.  I fully expect the United States to extend its seven-game winning streak and end the Group Stage with all nine points.  For one, while the United States didn’t...

Gold Cup 2013: Mexico Desperately Needs to Improve After Opening Loss

As international competitions go, this year’s Gold Cup isn’t exactly high up on the order of relevance.

USA vs. Panama: United States Must Seize Opportunity at Home

When the United States host Panama in Seattle on Tuesday  night, it will be a brilliant opportunity for the United States to go atop the group with half of their Hexagonal games in the bag.  In other words, anything less than a win will be a major disappointment and a golden chance wasted. It may be far from a must-win situation, but three points on Tuesday would put the team in a very comfortable...
