You will be forgiven if you don’t recognize three of the starters from the United States men’s soccer team’s first two Gold Cup matches. You will also be forgiven if you didn’t know the Gold Cup had started. After all, the United States women’s team is busy advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Cup an ocean away.
The Gold Cup — the biannual tournament for countries in North America, Central America and the Caribbean — began last weekend. The United States won its opening two games, against Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago, by a combined score of 10-0.
