The U.S. manager reflected on an improbable Gold Cup run from a young group not expected to hoist the trophy
U.S. men's national team boss Gregg Berhalter admitted that he really wanted to see his players rewarded by winning Sunday's Gold Cup as he hailed his "relentless" young team for finding a way to take down Mexico.
A late goal from Miles Robinson in extra time earned the 1-0 victory, giving the USMNT its second statement win over its top rivals this summer.
Having called in a squad without many of the program's European stars, the USMNT wasn't expected to go toe-to-toe with El Tri, but Berhalter said he always knew his young squad had what it took to emerge with a trophy.
