Giovani Dos Santos Should Start for Mexico in Gold Cup Group Finale

As the second half wore on and Mexico remained locked in a scoreless draw with Guatemala in the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Sunday night, the partisan crowd began to chant the name of the man they wanted to see: "Gio, Gio, Gio." Miguel Herrera finally relented, introducing Giovani Dos Santos in the 83rd minute, but by that time the 26-year-old had precious little time to turn the match around.

The result held and Mexico were frustrated after dominating possession and creating the game's best chances. With four points through two matches, El Tri now must defeat Group A leaders Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday in Charlotte, North Carolina.
