Freese saves three penalties as USA scrape past Costa Rica and into Gold Cup semi-final
Damion Downs scored in the sixth round of a penalty shootout after three saves by Matt Freese to send the US to the semi-finals of the Concacaf Gold Cup after Sunday night's match had ended in a 2-2 draw. The US will play Guatemala on Wednesday after they upset Canada in another shootout in the opener of the quarter-final doubleheader in Minneapolis. Mexico play Honduras in the other semi-final on Wednesday. The final is in Houston on 6 July. 'They showed today great character,' USA coach Mauricio Pochettino said of his team's efforts. Freese batted away attempts by Juan Pablo Vargas, Francisco Calvo and Andy Rojas in the shootout, which the US won 4-3. 'Penalties are my thing,' Freese said. 'On the plane ride over here to Minnesota I was studying the penalties and I've been studying them all week.' The US have reached the semi-finals in 17 of 18 Gold Cups, including 13 straight since a loss on penalties to Colombia in a 2000 quarter-final. Diego Luna and Max Arfsten scored in regulation for the US, who faced their toughest opponent of the tournament so far in Costa Rica after breezing through the group stage with an 8-1 goal differential. Alonso Martinez scored the tying goal for Los Ticos in the 71st minute with a left-footed shot after Carlos Mora split Luca de La Torre and Arsten to take a shot on Freese and seize the rebound to set up Martinez. Concacaf changed the rules for this edition of the tournament, getting rid of extra time except for the final. John Tolkin had the first chance to win the shootout for the US but Keylor Navas knocked down his attempt in the fifth round of kicks. Freese then denied Rojas, sticking out his tongue toward his cheering teammates at midfield. That set up the winner by the 20-year-old Downs. The US are playing with a weakened squad for this tournament after several of their best players, including Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Gio Reyna, Antonee Robinson, Folarin Balogun and Sergiño Dest, withdrew for a variety of reasons, from injuries to rest to Club World Cup commitments. Sign up to Soccer with Jonathan Wilson Jonathan Wilson brings expert analysis on the biggest stories from European soccer after newsletter promotion Costa Rica played without four key players on Sunday. Forward Manfred Ugalde, who had three goals in the tournament, and midfielder Carlos Mora were suspended for yellow-card accumulation. Defender Ariel Lassiter and forward Warren Madrigal were sidelined by injuries. Three of Costa Rica's six goals during the group stage came by penalty kick, and Calvo added another one in the 12th minute after a foul by Arsten. Calvo went low to zip the ball just out of reach of a diving Freese. Malik Tillman put a 37th-minute penalty off a post and Navas knocked away Arfsten's attempt off the rebound. Luna scored his first international goal in the 43rd by rocketing a shot off the chest of defender Alexis Gamboa. Tillman made amends for his miss early in the second half by poking a pass ahead for Arfsten, who surged in from a wing to send the ball into the opposite corner for a 2-1 lead.

Pep Guardiola: Club World Cup could make Man City's season a disaster
Pep Guardiola admitted that Manchester City's Premier League campaign could turn out to be a 'disaster' because of their participation in the Club World Cup. Before City's round-of-16 tie against Al-Hilal, Guardiola said he was happy about the immediate impact that the tournament has had on his players, arguing that it has helped them find their mojo again after a trophyless season. The Catalan feels that being away from home has also helped his new signings integrate into the squad and thinks that by giving his players a lot of free time in their base, he has helped them feel at ease. The long-term effects could be damaging though, as was stated by the England manager Thomas Tuchel, who said that Liverpool and Arsenal would have a 'huge advantage' in the Premier League title race because they are not competing in the 32-team tournament in the United States. 'I try not to think about it, otherwise I will be so anxious,' Guardiola said when asked about Tuchel's comments. 'So I try to be relaxed, to enjoy the days here, the good vibes that we have, the competition and to try to win it. 'And after [City are done in the US], hopefully in the final, we will rest the time that the Premier League allowed us to rest. And game by game, month by month, we will see. And maybe in November, December, January, you can ask me: Pep, listen, we are a disaster. We are exhausted. The World Club Cup destroyed us. 'I don't know, but it's the first time in our life that that's happened, right? 'Mentally, too, we will try to figure out how to take care of the players.' Guardiola has not overloaded his players during their time in the States. The players train at their base in Boca Ratón, an hour north of Miami, in the mornings and are then given the afternoons off to do as they please. Many see their families, who are staying in accommodation nearby, lounge around the pool or visit the stretch of private beach behind the hotel. 'I tell them to be careful of the sharks,' Guardiola quipped. 'Sometimes we play golf, sometimes when we have time, we have some barbecues, good wine. 'After the training sessions they can do what they want. From my short experiences in the World Cups and European Cups, the best thing to do is enjoy it. 'You do your best at your job when it comes from the joy, the pleasure, the enjoyment.' After a bruising season, the green shoots of recovery were there for all to see last Thursday when they hammered Juventus 5-2 to set up a round-of-16 tie against the 19-times Saudi champions, which will be played at 2am BST on Tuesday. Although winning the trophy would add prestige to the club and boost the coffers by £117million, Guardiola is more interested in seeing the players' self-belief grow after a poor season in which they finished third in the Premier League behind Liverpool and Arsenal. 'The most important thing is to recover and to remind ourselves of what we were — this is my main target in this tournament,' Guardiola said. 'I will not tell them, it's for the players themselves to visualise the way we play in the training sessions [and put that] into the games. 'They can feel, 'oh, this is what we were.' This is our path to try to be competitive, like we were in eight of the last nine years. 'Against Juventus, the players could visualise: oh, we can do it again. We can be an aggressive team with the ball and without the ball against such a good team like Juventus.' Meanwhile, Guardiola said he understands the argument put forward by Jürgen Klopp, the former Liverpool manager who is now head of global soccer at Red Bull, who described the Club World Cup as a 'pointless competition' and 'the worst idea ever implemented in football'. Guardiola agrees that players are playing too many games but noted that many of the complaints about the month-long competition have come from teams that did not reach the tournament. 'I understand him and I respect him and I've had an incredible relationship with Jürgen for many years as rivals,' Guardiola said. 'Now he's stepped back from that position [as a manager] and I understand his argument, because I would defend his argument as well. At the same time, as managers we are in a job. We don't organise the competitions. Once we are here, we are proud. Many, many teams complain about these competitions because they are not here, otherwise they might love being here.'
