Americans battle Guadeloupe in Gold Cup
The United States is aiming to bounce back in the CONCACAF Gold Cup when it takes on Guadeloupe at the Livestrong Sporting Park in Kansas Wednesday morning.
The Americans found themselves in an uncomfortable position following their shocking 1-2 loss to Panama last Saturday. USA currently sits in second place in Group C with three points, just ahead Canada on goal difference. The Panamanians lead the group with six points while Guadeloupe is winless in two outings.
The Americans are guaranteed of a quarterfinal berth but what they are avoiding at this point is an early clash with powerhouse Mexico if they finish third in the group.
"We expect a hard game," USA head coach Bob Bradley told ussoccer.com.
"Guadeloupe is talented team, and the past Gold Cups show that as well. We understand what the game is like. Our team has always responded really well coming back from games that we weren’t satisfied with, and I know that will be the case."
Despite being the heavy underdog, Guadeloupe is no easy prey. The French territory came back from three goals down to settle for a 2-3 loss to Panama in its opening outing and lost only to Canada by one goal.
