I honestly don't understand why they don't schedule the final round matches at the exact same time...
Well, because this is the USA and both matches are being played at the same stadium, 😁
It’s funny, really. During the last Gold Cup, everyone was making noise about how the tournament should be hosted outside of the States, but clearly, nobody's listening. This time around, they actually let Jamaica and Costa Rica host some matches, but they didn't go as far as giving them an entire group—just the first round. I mean, Canada used to host stuff too, so it's not unheard of. I can't tell if it's a matter of greed, a lack of interest from the other teams, or if big American corporations are just looking to squeeze every last cent out of the gate receipts...
On the pitch, Canada and Haiti are stepping up. Their quarterfinal matchup should be a wild one to watch. And man, seeing Costa Rica lined up against Mexico? I'm rooting for them to pull off the upset and knock them out!
