The United States men’s national team’s Concacaf Gold Cup schedule was filled with potential intrigue after the tournament structure and dates were finalized on Friday.
Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, still smarting from its disastrous fourth-place finish in last month’s Nations League, may have little room for error if it wishes to avoid a quarterfinal meeting with arch rival Mexico. A possible semifinal clash with Canada is another possibility if both teams advance to that stage in keeping with their seeding.

The USMNT’s campaign kicks off against Trinidad and Tobago at PayPal Park in San Jose on June 15. After its opening match, the team then heads south to Q2 Stadium in Austin to face Saudi Arabia four days later. The USMNT will close out the group stage against Haiti at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on June 22.
Having allocated the 16 teams into their respective groups on Thursday, Concacaf’s Friday announcement released the full 31-match schedule for the three-week tournament, with fans now able to trace the various possible scenarios through the knockout round.
The Gold Cup will serve as a crucial test for the U.S. as their final competitive tournament ahead of next year’s World Cup. Fellow World Cup hosts Canada and Mexico also have plenty to prove, with Mexico vying for a repeat Gold Cup title and Canada still fresh off its recent 2-1 win against the U.S. in the Nations League third-place match.
A matchup with Mexico would transpire if the U.S. finishes second in its Gold Cup group, and El Tri emerges as the top team in Group A. It would also take place if the Americans tops its first round table, but Mexico slips to second in a group that also features Costa Rica, Suriname and the Dominican Republic.
Canada, meanwhile, will be tested against Honduras, El Salvador and Curacao. The likeliest scenario for a rematch of the Nations League third-place battle with the U.S. would be for both teams to win their group and survive a quarterfinal, before going head-to-head in the semis.
The Canadians open the Gold Cup with Honduras at BC Place in Vancouver in the lone match staged on Canadian soil. Jesse Marsch’s group then travels to Houston where it will face Curacao on June 21 and then El Salvador on June 24, both at Shell Energy Stadium.
After opening the tournament at L.A.’s SoFi Stadium on June 14 against the Dominican Republic, Mexico then heads to AT&T Stadium to face Suriname on June 18. Its group stage slate concludes against Costa Rica in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium on June 22, in what mat be the most anticipated game of the group stage.

As expected, most Gold Cup games will be staged in the western half of the U.S., with the July 6 final set for NRG Stadium in Houston.
The venues for each specific match in the knock-out round will be confirmed as each stage of the Gold Cup concludes.
The quarterfinals will be hosted at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on June 28, and then at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis the following day. The semifinals will be at Energizer Park in St. Louis and Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on July 2.
The Gold Cup will kick off on the same day as the FIFA Club World Cup, although the global club competition lasts one week longer.

Messi si finále CONCACAF Cupu nezahraje, Miami vystavil stopku Vancouver
Miami přitom doma ve Fort Lauderdale mělo vynikající úvod. Hned v 9. minutě se po spolupráci bývalých barcelonských hráčů Messiho, Luise Suáreze a Jordiho Alby ujalo vedení. Další gól však Inter nepřidal a po přestávce v rozmezí dvaceti minut třikrát inkasoval.Tým trenéra Javiera Mascherana prohrál třetí soutěžní zápas za sebou, což je nejhorší série od Messiho příchodu v červenci 2023. „Musíme se z posledního týdne poučit,“ uvedl Mascherano, další bývalý hráč Barcelony. „Soupeř byl mnohem lepší než my. Jestli chceme být konkurenceschopní, musíme se zlepšit… Tenhle tým dokáže hrát o hodně lépe,“ dodal čtyřicetiletý Argentinec.Vancouver, jenž je aktuálně nejlepším týmem MLS, narazí ve finále nejvýznamnější klubové soutěže Severní a Střední Ameriky a Karibiku na soupeře z Mexika. Druhou semifinálovou dvojici tvoří tamní týmy Cruz Azul a Tigres UANL, které v prvním utkání remizovaly 1:1. Odveta se hraje dnes.

Mainoo: EL triumph won’t make Man Utd’s season a success but would give hope
Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has admitted winning the Europa League will not make the season a success but could provide a platform for the future. United travel to Bilbao on Thursday for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Athletic Club. The competition remains the club's only chance of winning silverware after a dismal competitive campaign. United will record their worst-ever Premier League points return come the end of the season and sit 14th in the top flight.Should United stay in 14th, it will be their worst top-flight finishing position since the club were relegated in 1974. However, despite the club's second-ever Europa League trophy being up for grabs, for Mainoo, the disappointment of their league displays will linger.

Warriors suffer blowout loss to Houston in Game 5 no-show
HOUSTON — At some point during the 15-minute halftime break on Wednesday night, Warriors coach Steve Kerr approached Draymond Green with a question: How long should they try to hunt down a comeback win in the second half?“Five minutes,” both Green and Kerr settled.So Kerr sent his starters back out there to open the third quarter, down by 27. Dillon Brooks hit a fadeaway to bump it to 29. Alperen Şengün crushed a put-back dunk to bump it to 31.AdvertisementThe veteran Warriors sprinkled in a few response buckets over the next couple of minutes, but — without the requisite urgency or focus to make any type of run against a desperate Rockets team — Kerr called a timeout at the 5:51 mark after a Fred VanVleet layup put the Rockets lead at 29. Kerr emptied his bench and officially pulled […]

Rudy Gobert silences doubters, saves Timberwolves on historically bad shooting night to eliminate Lakers
Getty Images Almost 11 months ago to the day, Rudy Gobert became the punchline to a biting NBA joke.His status in the league, questioned. His four Defensive Player of the Year honors, discredited. His ability to thrive in the postseason, nearly universally rejected.There had been debates about Gobert's playoff acumen earlier in his career, but a step-back 3-pointer from Luka Dončić in last year's Western Conference finals served as a dagger not only in the game, but also -- it seemed at the time -- for Gobert's career. It showed that the 7-foot-1 veteran center could anchor a regular-season defense just fine, but when it came to the playoffs, with switch-hunting the norm rather than the exception, Gobert simply couldn't hang with the game's elite perimeter scorers. Those questions were raised once again during this year's opening-round series between the […]
