The U.S. men’s national team is in the knockout stages of the Concacaf Gold Cup and is looking to continue its good form in the tournament when it takes on Costa Rica in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Sunday night.
While Mauricio Pochettino’s team entered the tournament with doubts after four straight losses, it thrived in the group stage, beating each of Trinidad and Tobago, Saudi Arabia and Haiti to emerge as the top seed.
Now, they take on one of the stronger Concacaf sides in Costa Rica, who finished second in their group to Mexico. While Los Ticos aren’t quite at the level as they were 11 summers ago in Brazil at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, they will still provide a formidable opponent in the quarterfinal.
Here’s everything you need to know about that clash.
