The defending champion United States welcomes Jamaica to Atlanta for a CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinal Tuesday.
United States striker Aron Johannsson is growing in confidence as the defending champion edges closer to back-to-back CONCACAF Gold Cup titles.
The U.S. set up a semifinal showdown with Jamaica in Atlanta on Wednesday after seeing off Cuba 6-0 last week.
Johannsson was handed a starting role alongside Gold Cup top goalscorer Clint Dempsey in the absence of Jozy Altidore, who was omitted from the squad because of a lack of fitness, and netted USA's third goal in the quarterfinals Saturday in Baltimore.
