U.S. sets sights on sixth Gold Cup title as underdog Jamaica plots upset

The U.S. national team is poised to win another Gold Cup on Wednesday, but the stingy Reggae Boyz will look to continue their Cinderella run

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The CONCACAF Gold Cup is a trophy the U.S. national team has lifted five times before, most recently in 2013, but despite that impressive track record, the current U.S. squad hasn't had many players who have experienced the high of winning the final.

A total of five of the U.S. team's 23 players have played in a Gold Cup final victory. Clint Dempsey has done it twice (in 2005 and 2007), while Tim Howard (2007), Omar Gonzalez (2013), Matt Besler (2013) and Joe Corona (2013) have each done it once.
