Guzan demands Gold Cup improvement from USA

After two poor performances at the Gold Cup, United States must improve to defend the continental title, according to Brad Guzan.

United States goalkeeper Brad Guzan claimed his team will not "kid themselves" as the side targets improvement ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals.

Panama largely dominated the USA on Monday in both teams' final group game of the Gold Cup, but Guzan's side managed to hold on for a 1-1 draw just three days after it stole a 1-0 victory from CONCACAF minnow Haiti.

The result in Kansas City could easily have been different, with Panama finishing the match against the USA with 11 shots to five, as Guzan made six saves.
