The US MNT’s silver medal performance at the Confederations Cup will be a tough act to follow. But then again, there’s no greater excitement than representing the red, white, and blue on our nation’s birthday. On Saturday, the MNT will don the colors once again on Independence Day and look to start the CONCACAF Gold Cup off with some fireworks against Grenada.
It may not be with the same roster that defeated Spain and gave Brazil a run for their money, but it does return a few key veterans that were missing from the Confeds Cup. What’s more, CONCACAF has granted the US 7 extra roster spots, because of their participation in the Confederations Cup.
Every game in the Gold Cup will be broadcast on Fox Soccer Channel and Univision. The action starts on Saturday as the US takes on Grenada (6 p.m. PT), followed by Honduras on July 8th and Haiti on the 11th.
