The 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup is entering its decisive phase, and for the U.S. Men's National Team, that means a potentially tricky quarterfinal showdown against Costa Rica this Sunday evening in Minneapolis.
The Americans topped Group D with a perfect record, bagging three wins and outscoring their opponents 8-1. However, that stat line flatters to deceive a bit, five of those goals came in a single blowout against Trinidad and Tobago, while much narrower victories followed over Saudi Arabia and Haiti.
On the flip side, Costa Rica also navigated their group unbeaten. They capped off Group A with a gritty 0-0 draw against Mexico, a performance that underlined their defensive mettle after earlier wins over Suriname and the Dominican Republic.

USMNT team news
It's been a standout tournament for Malik Tillman, whose influence in midfield has grown with each game. Even with a few big names missing, the U.S. midfield looks stacked, with Tyler Adams, Johnny Cardoso, and Luca de la Torre anchoring the midfield. At the back, Tim Ream and Chris Richards have held firm, though manager Mauricio Pochettino faces a decision in goal, Matt Freese has been mostly solid but did gift the only goal conceded in the group stage.
Costa Rica team news
For Los Ticos, danger man Manfred Ugalde has been in scorching form. The Spartak Moscow forward, who topped the Russian league's scoring charts this year, has already bagged three goals at the Gold Cup. Young midfield dynamo Brandon Aguilera of Rio Ave has also turned heads, while Westerlo's Josimer Alcocer, just 20, has two goals to his name.
That said, Costa Rica's defense has shown cracks, shipping three goals to Suriname and another to the Dominican Republic. But a shutout against Mexico suggests Keylor Navas and his back line can still raise their game when it matters.
