Prediction: 3-1
Trinidad & Tobago
United States of America take on Trinidad & Tobago at PayPal Park in the opening match of their 2025 Gold Cup campaign. The Yanks are after their eighth Gold Cup trophy, but it has to be noted that several star players have been omitted, including Christian Pulisic (AC Milan), Weston McKennie (Juventus), Timothy Weah (Juventus), and Yunus Musah (AC Milan). As a result, a man to watch in the home team will be PSV midfielder Malik Tillman.
The Soca Warriors, on the other hand, are eager to claim a major scalp in their Gold Cup opener, but given their five-game losing run against USA at the CONCACAF showpiece tournament, home win should be considered. Speaking of the away team, all eyes will be on Defence Force attacker Kevin Molino, who has netted 26 goals in 67 appearances for the national team to date. In their last meeting at the Gold Cup, USA crushed Trinidad 6-0.
Highlighted Player (Tim Ream):
After ending his college career at Saint Louis Billikens, Timothy Ream began playing for Chicago Fire at senior level. Speaking of his professional debut, the American footballer played the full 90 mins in New York Red Bulls’ opening match of the 2010 MLS season. On September 11, 2010 Tim Ream scored his first MLS goal in a 3-1 victory over Colorado Rapids.
The USA defender made 58 appearances in the league for the Red Bulls and in 2012 he moved to Europa to sign a contract with Bolton Wanderers. Tim Ream signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the club and he made his debut for Bolton in a 2-0 FA Cup win over Millwall on February 18, 2012.
In 2015 Ream moved to Fulham and he has been playing for the capital club ever since. The footballer, who wears No. 13 on his shirt at Fulham, made his debut for the USA national soccer team on November 17, 2010, in a 1-0 victory over South Africa.
Highlighted Team (Trinidad & Tobago):
Trinidad and Tobago national football team compete in both CONCACAF and the Caribbean Football Union. The Soca Warriors are well known for their red shirts and black shorts, with the team wearing white kit when playing on the travels. Trinidad and Tobago made their World Cup debut in 2006, with the team facing the likes of Paraguay, England and Sweden in Group B.
The Carribean side did well to hold Sweden to a goalless draw in their opener, but due to back-to-back defeats to the likes of England and Paraguay, they eventually failed to advance to the knockout stages of the competition. The Soca Warriors recorded their best result at the 1973 CONCACAF Championship, with the team finishing the process as the runners-up.
Dwight Yorke is considered the team’s most notable player. Yorke is one of the best attackers in the history of Manchester United and he scored 19 goals in 74 appearances for the Trinidad and Tobago national team.
