As host and defending champion, the USA naturally went into the Gold Cup 2019 with high expectations. After only one draw from the last three preparatory matches, doubts about the strength of the Soccer Boys grew in the United States. Perhaps the men of national coach Gregg Berhalter, who took over the team in December 2018, are not candidates for the seventh Gold Cup victory?
With the beginning of the tournament, the host was in good shape. At the start, the USA won 4: 0 against Guyana and 6: 0 against Trinidad & Tobago. It was not until the last group game that the Soccer Boys took a calm approach with a 1-0 win against Panama. In the quarterfinals the team of Coach Berhalter then met on Curacao. The coach had in the round of the last eight, the same starting eleven deployed as in the first two group matches. The favorite also started well and went through a co-production of captain Christian Pulisic and the Schalke Weston McKennie in the first round in the lead. The outsider Curacao did not hide at all, but could hardly put danger against the good defensive of the US boys.

The success against Curacao was also the 60th victory for the Soccer Boys at the continental finals. In addition, the defending champion at the Gold Cup 2019 is still without a clean sheet. Thus, one can be sure in the semi-final Jamaica. United States on a forecast for another victory without conceding the United States. The USA have been unbeaten in ten Gold Cup games and won the last nine of them. Ex-BVB player Pulisic is together with the Canadian Alphonso Davies from Bayern with three assists leading the assists.
