U.S. national team roundtable: Should we be worried about their Gold Cup chances?

The 2019 Gold Cup begins on Saturday, June 15 as Mexico take on and the U.S. kick off their campaign to defend their crown next Tuesday with a game against Guyana in Minneapolis. While Mexico look just fine with nothing but wins under Gerardo "Tata" Martino, the same cannot be said of the Yanks: the Gregg Berhalter regime has been uneven since he took over in January with the recent warm-up defeats to Jamaica and Venezuela causing some panic among the fans.

So, with a week until the Gold Cup hosts' opening game, we decided to take stock of where this team stands and whether or not there's cause for concern about their worrying form.
