The United States Men’s National Team hosts Jamaica in Chicago for the Concacaf Gold Cup semifinal. The United States has outscored opponents 12-0 so far this tournament under the new tenure of coach Gregg Berhalter. A team filled with dynamism and young talent has rekindled the USMNT of previous years. The team is looking for their seventh Gold Cup title to match Concacaf leaders Mexico, who are now onto the finals to face the winner of US and Jamaica after beating Haiti 1-0.

These two teams have a recent history in the knockout rounds of this tournament, with the US recently beating Jamaica in the finals of the 2017 Gold Cup 2-1 to lift their sixth title, but in 2015 Jamaica pulled off the upset beating the US 2-1 in the semifinals. The two teams also met in a friendly before this Gold Cup, with Shamar Nicholson scoring for the Jamaicans and winning 1-0.

The US has proven to be one of the strongest sides this tournament, with a new backline of Nick Lima, Walker Zimmerman, Aaron Long and Tim Ream, and goalkeeper Zack Steffen has yet to let up a goal this tournament. A revitalized midfield with youngster Weston McKennie and veteran Michael Bradley have dominated in the middle winning the ball back in key areas. 20-year-old Christian Pulisic has proved himself to be the team’s talisman, providing the key passes and goals the team lacked for several years.

Jamaica have a strong young talent as well with Leon Bailey. He recently signed a $20 million contract with Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2017. Dever Orgill has proven to be a serious threat in front of goal, and midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson has played in three Gold Cup with four total international goals.

According to CBS Sports’ David Sumpter, the US squad as a -210 money line, while Jamaica are underdogs with +600. The over/under is sitting at 2.5.

The match starts at 9:30 p.m. EST and will be broadcasted on FOX Sports 1 and can be streamed live on the FOX Sports app.

The United States Men’s National Team won their quarterfinal game against Curacao 1-0 in Philadelphia on Sunday night. 20-year-old Christian Pulisic wore the arm band for the team last night, and led them to a win with an assist to midfielder Weston McKennie, who scored in the 25th minute. The US will play Jamaica on Wednesday in the semifinals of the Concacaf Gold Cup.

For a majority of the game, the US were second favorites.Although they failed to score,Curacao dominated the possession and seemed to infiltrate every press the US threw at them. Curacao had a strong game plan that lacked concentration in the backline in the 25th minute, but other than that, they dominated the game.

“When you get to the knockout stages, everyone wants to move on to the next round and they’re giving absolutely everything,” Pulisic said, according to USA Today. “Curacao 100 percent wanted that — you could see that in the way they played.”

Gregg Berhalter, the United States head coach, relayed his frustrations to his team multiple times throughout the game. He wasn’t happy with their energy in both halves, lacked creativity and an edge at times in all aspects of the team. Nevertheless, a winning result keeps them alive in the tournament.

McKennie had a day, scoring the only goal for his team, and signing an extension on his previous contract with his German team FC Schalke.

The US moves on to face Jamaica in the semifinals of the Gold Cup on Wednesday. It’s unknown whether or not Berhalter changes the first team around. He could go with Jozy Altidore up front, as Gyasi Zardes was practically a ghost drifting around for 90 minutes against Curacao, with one shot that flew over the bar. Tyler Boyd could be rotated as well as he didn’t have the best of outings either. Pulisic and McKennie stepped up on the front for the US, but we will need more contributions from their front line against a strong Jamaican side.

Jordan Morris scored in the 88th minute on Wednesday night to propel the U.S. Men’s National Team to a 2-1 victory over Jamaica in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The 22-year-old Seattle Sounders forward netted after taking an assist from Clint Dempsey. Gyasi Zardes raced down the right sideline and crossed into the middle of the box, where the ball was only partially cleared. Dempsey managed to knock it down with his heel — following a Jamaican defender’s header deflection — right into the path of an onrushing Morris, who fired a shot through a crowd of Jamaican defenders and into goalkeeper Dwayne Miller’s top right corner. Morris also scored in the U.S.’s final group stage victory against Martinique. 

Two minutes before that goal, a free-kick from Dempsey bounced off the Jamaica wall and deflected off Morris in the box. The ball then fell to Matt Besler, who fired a shot that Miller saved.

The U.S. has now won six Gold Cup titles: only Mexico has won the tournament more times (seven), while Canada has won once. The game also marked the second straight time Jamaica finished as runner-up in the Gold Cup, after the country lost to Mexico in the 2015 tournament.

The Americans’ captain Michael Bradley won the Golden Boot despite playing only three of the six games.

The U.S. dominated possession for most of the match (73 percent, according to ESPN). Bradley was fouled about 30 yards from goal just before halftime after a nice buildup through midfield. On the ensuing free-kick in the 45th minute, Jozy Altidore curled  fantastic shot over Jamaica’s wall and inside Miller’s top left corner to give the U.S. a 1-0 lead at the break. The goal marked Altidore’s 39th career international goal, fourth all-time in the Gold Cup and third against Jamaica.

Jamaica equalized four minutes after halftime when the visitors capitalized on a dead ball situation after earning a corner kick. On that play, Kemar Lawrence fired a perfect strike to the back post, and Je-Vaughn Watson beat Morris to connect with a volley and make it 1-1.

Tim Howard made two saves for the U.S. to earn his 61st victory.

Manager Bruce Arena is now the only head coach to lead the USMNT to three Gold Cup titles, having previously guided the Americans to trophies in 2002 and 2005. Arena’s all-time record against Jamaica is 6-0-5.

The USA is 15-2-8 all-time vs. Jamaica and 12-1-3 at home.

The Americans next play Costa Rica at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey on Sept. 1 for the first game of the final round of 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying, and then travel to face Honduras on Sept. 5 before playing Panama and Trinidad & Tobago in October.

The lineups for both teams have yet to be announced. The USMNT is undefeated so far under head coach Bruce Arena, with a record of 8-0-5.

Clint Dempsey scored the Americans’ game-winning goal against Costa Rica with an 82nd-minute free-kick on Saturday after Jozy Altidore broke the deadlock with a stellar score of his own following an assist from Dempsey ten minutes earlier.

The U.S. lost to Jamaica 2-1 in the 2015 Gold Cup semifinals.

The U.S. is 4-1-0 against Jamaica in their previous five games, the last of which was a friendly victory in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Feb. 3.

In other related news, German-born midfielder Fabian Johnson announced earlier this week that he may retire from the USMNT following the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Johnson plays for Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach and will not participate in Wednesday’s final, like many other U.S. internationals. He boasts 56 caps with the U.S. since he made his debut in November 2011 under former head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, and played every game for the Americans in the 2014 World Cup.

The U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team will make its first-ever visit to Chattanooga, Tennessee on Feb. 3 when they host regional rival Jamaica for a friendly match at Finley Stadium.

U.S. Men’s National Team To Play Jamaica In Friendly On Feb. 3 Before World Cup Qualifiers

The game will come just one month before the USMNT’s next set of Final Round Qualifiers for the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup. The Americans will host Honduras on March 24, then play away in Panama four days later.

There is an expected capacity crowd of 20,000 for the Feb. 3 game at Finley. The match will be broadcast live on FS1 and UniMas (simulcast on UDN).

Defeats to Mexico and Costa Rica late last year to open World Cup qualifying put the U.S. in a tough position and led to the firing of head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The Americans now sit at the bottom of the qualifying table and new coach Bruce Arena will be charged with the now-difficult task of helping them reach next year’s World Cup.

With its first trip to Eastern Tennessee, the USMNT is heading into a thriving soccer market. NPSL side Chattanooga FC reached the championship in 2015, where a crowd of 18,277 set a record for attendance at an amateur game in the United States. Just over a week later, the U.S. Women’s Team played before a sold-out crowd on the artificial turf at Finely and defeated Costa Rica 7-2.

“It’s important that fans across the country have an opportunity to see the National Team, and we are always looking for places that have shown great support for the sport,’ said Arena. “From what we have seen, everything that’s happened in Chattanooga is remarkable. We’re looking forward to a fantastic atmosphere.”

The USMNT will also play a friendly against Serbia one week before Jamaica as part of their training camp.

The U.S. holds a 13-2-8 record against Jamaica dating back to 1988- it’s been more than ten years since they met in a friendly on U.S. soil. In the U.S.’s last game before Arena named the roster for the 2006 World Cup, a goal by D.C. United midfielder Ben Olsen and the 100th appearance by goalkeeper Tony Meola highlighted the 1-1 tie.

Team USA sprinter Allyson Felix won her 400m heat in 49.67 seconds and ended up with the fastest time for the semifinals. Felix is the 2015 400m world champion and is running the event for the first time at the Olympics. She has run the 4X400m the last two Olympics and has won gold with Team USA in Beijing and London.

Felix was in lane three of the third heat in the 400m semifinals on Sunday and pushed ahead with 200m left in the race. Bahamas’ Shaunae Miller was trying to use the length in her stride (she’s 6’1”) over Felix’s 5’6″ frame inside the last 100m, but it wasn’t enough and Felix cruised through the finish.

The U.S. will be taking three of the eight lanes in the 400m finals and Jamaica will take two lanes.

U.S. Sprinter Phyllis Francis won the first heat in 50.31 seconds. Jamaican sprinter Shericka Jackson and American Natasha Hastings both ran 49.38 and 49.90 seconds respectively taking the top two spots in the second heat.

The other three finalists are Olha Zemlyak from Ukraine, Italy’s Libania Grenot and Miller.

This is Felix’s fourth Olympics and she has medalled in every Olympics thus far. The final for the 400m is Monday night at 9:45 pm EST.
