Latest US vs Costa Rica team information
Ahead of the fateful encounter in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Gold Cup, both the US and Costa Rica suffered certain losses in terms of strength. On the US side, the head coach had to rotate the squad without the services of a series of pillars: Sergino Dest (ligament injury), Patrick Schulte (sore abdominal muscles) and veteran goalkeeper Zack Steffen (knee) were all absent. In addition, important names such as Christian Pulisic were given a break, while Reyna, Weah, McKennie were busy attending the Club World Cup, and Joshua Sargent was not called up. Despite the absence of many stars, the US still has energetic factors such as Aaronson, Tillman or Agyemang - enough to make a difference.
Costa Rica is weaker in terms of force, only Madrigal is slightly injured and is doubtful of playing. Most of the remaining pillars are ready to play. Most notably is the presence of veteran goalkeeper Keylor Navas - who can make the difference in a key match.
Latest expected lineup for USA vs Costa Rica
- USA (4-2-3-1):Freese; Freeman, Richards, Ream, Tolkin; Adams, De La Torre; Sullivan, Tillman, Aaronson; Agyemang
- Costa Rica (3-5-2):Navas; Mitchell, Vargas, Calvo; Mora, Aguilera, Galo, Alcocer, Mora; Martinez, Ugalde
Latest football commentary USA vs Costa Rica
The match between the US and Costa Rica in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Gold Cup is a clash between two familiar names in the CONCACAF region. However, the balance of history is completely tilted towards the American team. In the last 6 times the two teams met, the US won 5 matches, including big wins like 4-0 (2021) or 3-0 at the beginning of this year. The US team is also one of the two dominant forces in the Gold Cup, with 7 championships - only behind Mexico (9 times).
The US's current form at the Gold Cup is also very impressive. They lead Group D with 3 wins, scoring 8 goals and only conceding 2. Despite not having many stars, the US's playing style still operates smoothly with a foundation of abundant physical strength, speed and high tactical discipline. The young players are performing very well and have the opportunity to shine in the context of a series of pillars being rested or busy playing in other tournaments.
Costa Rica is also on a 5-match unbeaten streak (4 wins), and notably held Mexico to a draw in the final group stage match. However, if looking at the overall picture, most of their recent victories have come against weaker opponents like Suriname or Bahamas. When facing strong and organized teams like the US, Costa Rica's defense still shows many loopholes.
The US may have had some difficulty in the first half, but with their superior class and home field advantage, they will likely know how to control the game in the second half and win a ticket to the semi-finals.
