Guatemala should be ashamed for losing to this Cuba team. Cuba was in my opinion the weakest team in the tournament, and this game did nothing to prove me otherwise.

Haiti vs Jamaica should be a decent game tho.

I'm not sure who I want the US to face, honestly. Already had problems with Haiti, and Jamaica always seem to give us a bit of an issue when we play them as well. Either way, I expect USA to advance to the final. Just not gonna be easy, which is a good thing.

Jamaica looked like the best team in group play

I wish we played Panama vs TnT winner. We obviously have an easier road to the final but Mexico/Costa Rica will be battle tested.

You can make a case depending on who win that we will be facing a better team than Mexico/Costa Rica. T&T and Jamaica are on the same level IMO while Panama may be better than Haiti but in this tournament they looked pretty even

I have Haiti winning this game tonight and I have Trinidad and Mexico advancing tomorrow. We'll see.

It's Cuba but at least we did what we're suppose to do against a significantly weaker opponent for a change. We attacked for the majority of the game, as it should be. I half expected us just to dick around once we got the first goal and especially after the 2nd, but the team kept going. Maybe the squad used it as a glorified practice game to work out all the kinks from the group stage and we'll finish strong now

It was Cuba and we did not look all that good outside of set pieces and long balls. There was nothing creative, off ball movement was simplistic and tight spaces is still a major issue.

In light of this teams lack of creativity and appetite for the reoccurring defensive meltdowns, Jamaica's speed will really neutralize us. I predict a 2-1 Jamaica win. We don't look all that cohesive or threatening.

I thought Haiti played really well this tourney, hats off to them. They just don't have any finishers.

Jamaica has looked solid, well coached all tourney and played better than the U.S. We are the underdogs on Wednesday.

Haiti was the better team for most of the match, but at the end of the day you have to make the chances you get count and finish it. Jamaica did it, Haiti didn't.

C'mon la, Jamaica's been solid, but US should still be the favorites.

Underdogs? Are you stupid?
Before the Gold Cup started, U.S. Clear favorites to run away with this thing.

However, the U.S. has played awful the first four games. So I don't know what is so stupid with my observation. We beat Haiti 1-0 and so did Jamaica. Saying we are dogs considering our collective performance and Jamaicas result v Haiti is not absurd.

Outside of a 2-2 draw vs Costa Rica when else did Jamaica really look good? They struggled to beat a shitty Canada team and was outplayed by Haiti tonight.

Are you the same character who made it seem impossible that the US would get out of group play at the WC last year?

Talent wise, USA is the best team in this tournament. There's no way they shouldn't be considered the favorite against anyone.

I could understand if you had them as an underdog against Mexico (not that I'd agree with it) but Jamaica? C'mon, lol.

He's always predicting US losses. Just let him spin.

Vegas disagrees big time. Right now odds are:
USA -225
Jamaica +600
Draw +300

Looks like we are pretty big favorites to me

That guy is always undercutting the U.S. It's laughable, really.
