The two nations open their CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign on Sunday night, with the Americans having much more to prove

The Stars and Stripes in turn have suffered two defeats to Türkiye and Switzerland in the lead up to the Gold Cup. The pressure is on Mauricio Pochettino to get the USMNT back to winning ways against Trinidad and Tobago, but he might have to do so without Tyler Adams, who is still dealing with a foot injury.

USMNT has won the Gold Cup seven times, second only to Mexico. Trinidad and Tobago have just one semifinal finish in 17 tourneys.
