@stevengoff.bsky.social do you know whether if the Gold cup final is tied at the end of regulation it will go straight to penalty kicks, or will there be 30 minute extra time?

Its resilience on full display, USMNT denies Costa Rica to reach Gold Cup semis The Americans lost their second-half lead but made the right moves in the shootout to prevail, 4-3, following a 2-2 draw.

Guatemala ousts Canada in a wild shootout, advances to Gold Cup semifinals for first time since 1996.

Costa Rica's legendary keeper, Keylor Navas, takes the field for warm-ups, turns to the ecstatic Guatemalan supporters and applauds them. They return the gesture. Beautiful.

7️⃣ guys on our #USMNT roster will represent their clubs as MLS All-Stars! 👏

Reports that ICE & CBP will work at matches have raised alarm. They've staffed big events before, often unnoticed, but questions are now being asked about their intended role.

‘No vengan acá.’ Immigration fears mar FIFA Club World Cup excitement Visa delays, immigration arrests and travel ban loom as FIFA Club World Cup comes to U.S. and New Jersey.

An immigration crackdown is underway as international tourists arrive in the US for #FIFAClubWorldCup.

The political climate threatens to keep away both foreign and local fans - concerns that could escalate as the US prepares for an even bigger stage when it co-hosts the #FIFAWorldCup next year.

Matt Crocker, on Pulisic:

U.S. Gold Cup roster missing several big names, including Christian Pulisic Coach Mauricio Pochettino on Thursday named a 27-man squad — mostly from MLS — for training camp in Chicago. The final roster of 26 is due in June.

USMNT story updated with many comments from Pochettino:

www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

I mean, you get it on one hand with it being *just* a Gold Cup but I just don't think there's any way any of the guys in this player pool should be skipping tournaments a year out from a home World Cup with the form the national team is in.

Musah, in particular, could have used the game time #USMNT

Christian Pulisic missing Gold Cup: Bad look for the player, bad break for USMNT At a time when the USMNT needs an uptick in fortune, form and vibes, its on-field leader won't be in uniform.

One year out from a home World Cup, a struggling #USMNT will be without its star player.

Christian Pulisic may need a rest, but his absence from the Gold Cup hits differently. Needing a cultural reset, the USMNT missing its leader and the face of the program hurts.

This really feels like more of an all time low for the USMNT than 2017. I’ve personally never felt worse about this team, and at a time when I should be the most excited I’ve ever been with the World Cup just over a year away, all I feel is apathy. I hate this.

For whatever his personal failings may be, imagine Cristiano Ronaldo turning down a Portugal call-up for a tournament.

Would never happen.

In fact here's a look five years into the future when Ronaldo shows up at a Portugal camp uninvited. #USMNT

US Soccer/Poch wanted everyone to know this was on Christian Pulisic. #USMNT

Now, 17/27 players from MLS when not too long ago it was 25/26 from Europe.

What happened? It can’t all be circumstantial.

What a time for a programming change. #FutbolAmericas tomorrow night
