The United States men’s national team needed a quick tune up game to prepare for their Gold Cup campaign, which begins on July 7th against Honduras. So, they played lowly Guatemala and cruised to a 4-0 victory — and now USMNT is certainly one of the favorites in the tournament.

72nd minute: Michael Bradley (who was just appointed captain) was fouled in the box and Clint Dempsey taps in the ensuing penalty kick.
86th minute: The United States puts together a quick attack and Chris Wondolowski is in the right place at the right time. (And he reacts quickly enough to get the score.)
