Prediction: 1-0
Costa Rica
A spot in the 2025 Gold Cup semis will be at stake when United States of America and Costa Rica take on each other at U.S. Bank Stadium on Monday morning. The Yanks aim to keep their 100% record intact at the tournament, but los Ticos should not be written off just yet. The likes of Christian Pulisic, Westen McKennie, and Timothy Weah have been omitted and, as a result, a man to watch in the home team will be PSV ace Malik Tillman, who scored the opener in a 2-1 win over Haiti.
Costa Rica, on the other hand, are eager to claim a major scalp in the Gold Cup quarter-finals. In their last meeting at the Gold Cup (2017), USA defeated Costa Rica 2-0 and given the Yanks’ impressive group stages campaign, home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in Miguel Herrera’s team ahead of the trip to Minneapolis.
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 (Costa Rica):
Los Ticos are administered by the Costa Rican Football Federation and are members of the CONCACAF confederation competing at the international stage since 1921, although it was not until 1927 that they had become the FIFA members.
Costa Rica is the most successful national football team in the history of Central America with eight championships and their decorated reputation was upheld in 2014 when the current Central American champions made an imposing impression during the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Having reached the quarter-finals, Costa Ricans continue to be a thorn in the side for a many bigger soccer nations.
Alvaro Saborio is the most-capped member of the current team captained by Bryan Ruiz, but the most prominent star of the squad is definitely Real Madrid goalkeeper and 2016 Champions League winner Keylor Navas. Arsenal forward Joel Campbell is also a notable player whose 2014 FIFA World Cup performances have been nothing short of impressive.
