The stage is set for the Concacaf Gold Cup final, and it's a fitting one as the United States and Mexico will meet for the title in the eighth time in the history of the competition. This is the first final that the United States men's national team has played under Mauricio Pochettino,

Since Pochettino became USMNT coach, the team still hasn't had a signature win. The Gold Cup final vs. Mexico is the last chance before the 2026 World Cup.

The USMNT is two wins away from winning its 8th CONCACAF Gold Cup, which would put them just one behind Mexico for the most all time.
