The Stars and Stripes are gearing up for a high-stakes clash against Guatemala in the CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals this Wednesday at Energizer Park.

The U.S. men's squad cruised through Group D without dropping a beat, bagging three wins on the trot over Trinidad and Tobago, Saudi Arabia, and Haiti. With just one goal conceded across those matches, the Americans brought a rock-solid backline and a full head of steam into the knockouts.

Their quarterfinal showdown with Costa Rica in Minneapolis turned into a nerve-shredder. After 120 minutes couldn’t separate the sides in a 2-2 thriller, it all came down to spot-kicks. Matt Freese stood tall with three clutch saves, and Damion Downs iced the game with the winning penalty, booking the U.S. its 17th trip to the Gold Cup semifinals.

As for Guatemala, they've been punching above their weight. After finishing second in Group C, trailing Panama but edging out Jamaica and Guadeloupe, they entered the quarters with something to prove.

And prove it they did. In a barnburner against Canada, Los Chapines came from behind after Jonathan David’s penalty put them down.

Rubio Rubin nodded home the equalizer in the 69th minute, and a nail-biting shootout followed. Josée Morales coolly slotted the winner in the seventh round, sealing Guatemala’s first semifinal berth since 1996 and sending the underdogs into dreamland.

USA vs. Guatemala starting lineups, team news

Mauricio Pochettino kept confidence in goalkeeper Matt Freese after his glaring error against Haiti, and his penalty shootout heroics rewarded that faith. It's hard to imagine too many changes to the lineup the rest of the way, although the boss could consider a switch at left-back as Max Arfsten has been defensively porous. John Tolkin could get a chance.

Johnny Cardoso picked up an ankle injury and missed the quarterfinal match, while Haji Wright's Gold Cup is over due to an Achilles injury.

The U.S. are without injured regulars Sergino Dest, Antonee Robinson, Ricardo Pepi, and Folarin Balogun for this tournament, while Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, and Gio Reyna are unavailable as they are participating in the Club World Cup. Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah requested to have the summer off and are not with the side.

Yellow card accumulation is wiped in the semifinals, meaning players can only be banned from the final if they are sent off in this game.

USA predicted starting XI (4-3-3, right to left): Freese (GK) — Freeman, Richards, Ream, Arfsten — Berhalter, Adams, de la Torre — Tillman, Agyemang, Luna.

Injured: Cardoso (ankle), Wright (Achilles), Pepi (knee), Steffen (knee), Dest (fitness/knee), A. Robinson (knee), Balogun (ankle).

Suspended: None.

The Guatemala attack is led by former USA international Rubio Rubin who switched to represent Guatemala in 2022 after none of his seven USMNT senior appearances cap-tied him to his country of birth.

They have two players who feature prominently at MLS clubs. Goalkeeper Nicolas Hagen backs up American starter Patrick Schulte at the Columbus Crew while right-back Aaron Herrera plays for D.C. United.

Head coach Luis Fernando Tena decided not to call in veterans Alejandro Galindo or Carlos Mejia, both of whom have over 50 international caps but are now 33 years old.

Guatemala starting XI (5-3-2, right to left): Navarro (GK) — Herrera, Pinto, Samayoa, Morales — Robles, Rosales, Munoz — Escobar, Rubin, Santis.

Injured: None.

Suspended: None.
