USA vs. Jamaica, 2021 Gold Cup quarterfinals: What to watch for

The United States Men’s National Team are in the knockout stage of the 2021 Gold Cup, and they begin with the quarterfinals at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Standing between the Group B winners and a trip to the semifinals is Jamaica, the team that finished 2nd in Group C and has played the USMNT in the last 3 Gold Cup knockout stages. Jamaica beat the USMNT in the 2015 Gold Cup semifinal, while the USMNT won in the 2017 final and the 2019 semifinals.

Accordingly, this will be a very intense match that feels like a semifinal. The United States will hope to move onto Austin, but they’re going to have to play their best match in this tournament to get past the Reggae Boyz.
