The United States Men’s National Team is on top of CONCACAF yet again after beating Panama 1-0. 

With the country’s fifth Gold Cup triumph, as well as their World Cup qualifying domination, the Yanks are the current kings of CONCACAF.

Here’s a look at some things to take away from the United States 2013 Gold Cup triumph.

Klinsmann promised a complete overhaul of how the United States approaches the game of soccer, and it is finally looking like he can deliver.

 

Sabbaticals for Everyone!



After taking a much-needed break from both club and country, Landon Donovan reemerged as the heart and soul of the United States in this Gold Cup.

Many thought Donovan had played his last meaningful game for the Stars and Stripes, but it now seems Donovan is still the most important player the U.S. has.

Look for Donovan to be one of the first names on the team sheet in Brazil.
