The United States kick off their campaign for a sixth Gold Cup title with what is likely to be their toughest match of the group stage, an encounter with Panama on the banks of the Cumberland River in Music City.

Veteran US fans know better than to be fooled by Panama’s small size – the isthmus nation is home to fewer than four million residents – and relative lack of hardware in this tournament.
