James Sands has been a revelation for the USMNT since the Gold Cup began. NYCFC’s first-ever Homegrown signing has played in all of the US’s five games thus far in the Gold Cup and has started in three straight as the middle center back in a back three.
Tonight, Sands gets his fourth straight start for the Stars & Stripes as they take on invitees Qatar in the Gold Cup Semifinal as they attempt to punch their ticket to an appearance in the final against either Mexico or Canada who face off later tonight.
