    Sportsmole:

    The USA will defend their Gold Cup crown beginning on Saturday when they host Jamaica at Soldier Field in Chicago.
    Last Sunday, the Yanks retained their CONCACAF Nations League title by defeating Canada 2-0 in the final, while the Reggae Boyz have yet to win a match this year, dropping a 2-1 friendly versus Jordan earlier this week.

    Despite the coaching uncertainty and a scandal that broke following their exit from the 2022 World Cup, the Americans put it aside this past weekend and lifted another trophy on the continental stage.

    That coaching question has since been answered as Gregg Berhalter will re-assume his role as full-time manager when this competition concludes, after being away from the sidelines while the US federation looked into a domestic abuse case involving the man who guided them to the finals in Qatar.

    BJ Callaghan will be leading them into the Gold Cup this year, and his tenure as interim boss has proven to be memorable as his players were clinical in their Nations League semi-final triumph over arch-rivals Mexico (3-0) and followed that up with an equally impressive victory in the final, having now claimed three straight CONCACAF titles for the first time.

    As is often the case at this tournament, it appears as though the US will be trying to get more youngsters some international experience, with 14 players on the 23-man roster having accumulated fewer than 10 caps, while Sean Johnson and Aaron Long are the only ones selected who are 30 years of age or above.

    Many of the players selected may be experiencing this competition for the first time, but the Americans are used to making deep runs at the Gold Cup, appearing in the final 12 times, winning it all on seven occasions, one shy of the record currently held by Mexico.

    They have captured eight successive group encounters at this tournament and have not suffered a defeat at that stage of the competition since a 2-1 loss to Panama in 2011.
    Heading into this encounter, the Yanks are unbeaten in their previous five matches against the Jamaicans, outscoring them 7-1 in their last three home games combined.

    Jamaica just wants it more?

    I guess the odds should have tipped us off this wasn't going to be the walk in the park for USA it sounded like.
