The United States defeated Costa Rica 2-0 Saturday night to advance to the 2017 Gold Cup final against Jamaica. After a frustrating first half with several scoring chances, the USMNT finally broke through and scored 2 to hold off Los Ticos. There were a few performances that you could probably argue were good. But, there is only one man we’re going to talk about today.
Clint Dempsey entered the match for the USMNT in the 66th minute to a raucous ovation in his home state of Texas. He was the player many in the crowd of 45,516 came to see, and Deuce did not disappoint.
