The USMNT played out a 1-0 game against the small island nation of Curaçao to advance to the semifinal of the Gold Cup. Even though the team played what appears to be their starting line up minus Altidore (for this tournament, at least), the USMNT struggled. The game itself was essentially a snoozer.
The best reply.
Curaçao were clean, comfortable, organized and entirely too patient. The US were almost completely uninspiring. The game was a nap. https://t.co/3lumNt8n2g— Sam Stejskal (@samstejskal) July 1, 2019Here’s what we learned.
