USA bullish about Gold Cup chances ahead of Cuba quarterfinal

Coming off a first place finish in Group A, the U.S. begins the business end of the Gold Cup with a quarterfinal against Cuba on Saturday.

BALTIMORE — The last time the U.S. national team played in Baltimore, it defeated El Salvador 5-1 in a Gold Cup quarterfinal.

Two years later, Jurgen Klinsmann’s side returns at the same stage of the same tournament and barring anything completely shocking, it will likely be close to the same result.

Coming off two wins and a draw in the group stage, the U.S. faces a Cuban side that will be a heavy underdog at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
