2023 Gold Cup-USA vs. Jamaica - Gold Cup preview

 

 

The 2023 Gold Cup begins with an entertaining clash between USA and Jamaica on June 24th at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois.

 

The USMNT are coming into the tournament as reigning champions, after defeating Mexico 1-0 in the 2021 final to lift the trophy. Now, interim manager B.J. Callaghan, who will remain as head coach for the duration of the Gold Cup, will attempt to lead his side to consecutive titles.

 

Jamaica and head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, on the other hand, enter the tournament seeking revenge against the US after their 1-0 quarterfinal defeat in the 2021 tournament. The Carribbean side will be a tough test for USA as they welcome Demarai Gray after he switched his international allegiance from England to the Reggae Boyz.

 

The two countries have met 31 times dating back to 1988, with the USA leads the all-time series 19-3-3. The last time they experienced defeat against Jamaica was in 2019, during an international friendly, 1-0. Will USA triumph over Jamaica for the 20th time, or will the Reggae Boyz take control of Group A with an upset?

 

USA team news

 

B.J Callaghan had star-studded lineups in the Nations League final and semifinal that included the likes of Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna, and Folarin Balogun. But those players are now preparing for pre-season with their clubs, forcing Callaghan to lead a much different squad in this Concacaf tournament.

 

Beyond Matt Turner, who returns to the camp as the No. 1 goalkeeper, it is an MLS-heavy roster for the American side as Cristian Roldan, Aidan Morris, Jesus Ferreira lead the way. Jordan Morris, DeAndre Yedlin, Cade Cowell, Brandon Vazquez, and Alex Zendejas will also form part of this Gold Cup side in an attempt to win the trophy.

 

USA are riding a six-game unbeaten streak and look to make it seven straight against Jamaica.

 

Jamaica team news

 

Andre Blake will be in between the posts for Jamaica as he closes in on 60 appearances for them in all competitions. The potential front three of Demarai Gray, Michail Antonio, and Leon Bailey could pose a threat for USA's backline with their pace and skill.

 

Antonio has scored three goals for Jamaica in seven appearances after making the one-time switch from England in 2021, while Bailey has managed three goals in 19 games played. It will be interesting to see what those two can do with Gray up front in the Everton player's debut for the Carribbean nation.

 

Following their Nations League exit in March, Jamaica has since played Qatar, who are also competing in the Gold Cup for a second time, and Jordan in tune-up friendlies. Jamaica were unable to win in either games, losing 2-1 twice. The Reggae Boyz hope to find the same magic that helped them knock off USA back in 2015 to set the tone early on.

 

 

Prediction

On paper, USA has the more balanced squad, but Jamaica's attacking unit should be able to create some chances to keep them in the game if they receive enough service. Things could get tricky for USA, especially if they are without Miles Robinson.

 

USA's forwards are still top-class, though. Together, they should be able to create plenty of chances against the Jamaica defense between Morris, Ferreira, Roldan, and Vazquez, but getting past Blake might be difficult. However, USA should have enough quality to overcome Jamaica in Matchday one of the Gold Cup.

 

Prediction: USA 2 - Jamaica 1

​FIFA World Cup -- Netherlands vs USA Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

The World Cup 2022 last-16 stage will get underway on Saturday afternoon when the Netherlands and the USA square off.

 

Netherlands

With seven points from three games, Louis van Gaal's team won Group A to guarantee their place in the round of 16. The Netherlands have amassed a remarkable 18-game unbeaten streak in all competitions after being eliminated from Euro 2020 by the Czech Republic.

 

USA

In Group B, the USA finished second to England. Their victory over Iran was also their first triumph in six games across all competitions. In fact, the USA hasn't defeated a UEFA team at a World Cup since 2002; instead, they've drawn with them six times and lost five times.

 

Prediction

Gakpo and the rest of Van Gaal's crop are still a very formidable opponent due to their ruthlessness. We can only imagine the Netherlands moving on to the quarterfinals thanks to their strong defensive record.

 

 

Pick: Netherlands win

​International Friendly -- Saudi Arabia vs USA Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

Tuesday's friendly match between Saudi Arabia and the USA at Spain's Estadio Nueva Condomina.

 

Saudi Arabia

Ecuador held The Green to a scoreless draw. Saudi Arabia scored 34 goals during their 2022 qualifying campaign, the fewest of the six Asian countries who qualified for Qatar. They may be having trouble scoring goals, but they have played solid defense for conceding one goal or fewer in 11 of their previous 12 games.

 

USA

The US suffered their first defeat in five games, falling to Japan 2-0. Many people are still unsure about who will start as the USA's number nine when their World Cup campaign gets off, given they have only been able to score one goal or less in three of their past four games. They had won their previous 34 out of their previous 39 games.

 

Prediction

The most recent games between opposing teams were dull. This is particularly true of Saudi Arabia, which have gone three games without scoring. In their recent meeting with Japan, the USA also have no objectives. There is a low likelihood that the future game will be a success.

 

 

Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
