After a physical and sloppy 2-0 win against El Salvador, the United States Men’s National Team looks to put together a better performance against Costa Rica in the CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals in Arlington, TX.
This match-up features two teams that are extremely familiar with each other. Costa Rica holds the all-time edge in the series by a single win, going 15-14-6. However, the U.S. is 13-6-4 on American soil, 6-0-1 in the Gold Cup, and Bruce Arena is undefeated in his second tenure.
The last time these two countries met in the Gold Cup, it was none other than former Orlando City midfielder Brek Shea that gave the Yanks the win.
