Mexico Reclaims Gold Cup With Another Legendary Dos Santos Golazo

It’s been just over eight years since Giovani dos Santos scored one of the greatest goals in Gold Cup history, putting the finishing touches on a 4-2 Mexico victory over the USMNT during the 2011 final. Fast forward to the present day and it’s his younger brother, Jonathan, who’s cemented El Tri’s continental dominance.

Sunday Is Going To Be Amazing For Soccer Fans, But FIFA’s Scheduling Is An Insult To Women’s Soccer

Sunday will be perhaps the greatest day of international soccer viewing in the history of the sport.

At 11 a.m. ET, the United States takes on the Netherlands in the 2019 Women's World Cup final.

At 4 p.m. ET, Brazil hosts Peru in the 2019 Copa América final.

And at 9 p.m. ET, rivals Mexico and the U.S. face off in the 2019 Gold Cup final.

It’s a day full of big matches, and that’s not even counting the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 and a couple big MLS clashes. 

Christian Pulisic Scores Twice To Set Up First USA-Mexico Gold Cup Final Since 2011

There may have been some doubt the last time the USMNT played competitive matches 20 months ago, but there is none now during the 2019 Gold Cup. Christian Pulisic is the USMNT’s best player, without question. He may just be the best player in all of Concacaf.

Pulisic, as he’s done all Gold Cup, played with fire, passion and purpose to help the U.S. defeat Jamaica 3-1 in the semifinals late Wednesday night and into Thursday morning in Nashville, Tennessee, after a 90-minute rain delay in the first half.

Gregg Berhalter Quote

You look at these quarter final matches, they're all tight matches. You know I think you guys wanted us to go out there and beat them 5-0, but we knew it was going to be a difficult game. And you look at all the quarter finals so far in this tournament and Copa América, they're all tough games. They know there's no tomorrow if they lose.

Christian Pulisic And Weston McKennie Combine To Spare USMNT Meltdown Vs. Curaçao

The USMNT advanced to the semifinals of the 2019 Gold Cup with a 1-0 victory over Curaçao, and it really was that close. A wonderful combination between Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie in the 25th minute proved to be the match-winner, and the U.S. had to rely on five saves from Zack Steffen to weather the storm from the tiny Dutch Caribbean island.

The opening 25 minutes of play had very little to due with what transpired over the final 65 — that opening period was really the only time the U.S. seemed to be in control. 

American Teen Tim Weah Leaves PSG For Lille In Fouth-Most Expensive Transfer For An American

New Data Shows Just How Elite Christian Pulisic Is With The Ball At His Feet

Everyone knows that Christian Pulisic isn’t going to immediately step into Eden Hazard’s shoes at Chelsea and act as a carbon copy of the Belgian. Hazard, of course, is eight years older than Pulisic and currently much more decisive in the final third: Hazard hit 16 Premier League goals last campaign, the American tied his career best by reaching four in the Bundesliga.
