Editor’s note, the United States Mutant Ninja Turtles will hereby be named the following:
The USMNT had endured through the Gold Cup easily beating Guyana and Trinidad & Tobago while laboring to get past Panama and Curacao. Going into the game it didn’t seem like the progress that had been promised under Gregg Berhalter was materializing. Stomping Guyana and T&T is fine and the defense had played well in the tournament - not allowing any goals makes up for a struggling attack - but the new manager is not known for a fluid, possession oriented, creative defense.
