As predicted, the United States Men’s National Team claimed first place in Group A based on goal differential at the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, advancing to the knockout stage. After overcoming an opening hiccup draw against Jamaica, interim manager BJ Callaghan led his squad to consecutive 6-0 victories over Saint Kitts & Nevis and Trinidad & Tobago. The quarterfinal round opponent is none other than Canada, a sooner-than-expected meeting between the rivals that was penciled in for the tournament’s conclusion. The match is scheduled for TQL Stadium, a 26,000-seat soccer-specific stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio that opened in May of 2021.
