The USMNT closed up their June camp with a friendly against Costa Rica. This match was always going to be a bit overshadowed by the final against Mexico on Sunday, with many players forced to rotate. But the team nevertheless put on an excellent performance, comfortably thumping Costa Rica 4-0.
Quite honestly, this one’s really hard to talk about. While this was (mostly) Costa Rica’s A team, they are significantly out of form and looked like a team that needed a break after losing both the semifinals and 3rd place match on penalties. While the US rotated, they still brought a lot of energy to the game and that translated to a good performance.
