USMNT Loss to Panama Stuns Fans after Penalty Kick Flop in 2023 Gold Cup Semis

Live on the edge long enough and eventually you might fall off.

Such was the case for the USMNT, which for the second straight game went into a penalty shootout in the Gold Cup. Unlike a quarterfinal victory over Canada, however, this time the Americans fell to Panama 1-1 (5-4 on penalties).
