2025 Gold Cup Odds: Mexico Slightly Favored Over U.S. Ahead Of Semifinals
The U.S. men's national team is fresh off a thrilling penalty shootout victory over Costa Rica in the quarterfinals. It will face Guatemala on Wednesday, July 2, at 7 p.m. ET on FS1.
In the other semifinal, Mexico, which eliminated Saudi Arabia in the quarterfinals, will take on Honduras at 10 p.m. ET, also on FS1.
The U.S. has claimed seven Gold Cup titles, with its most recent championship coming in 2021.
Meanwhile, Mexico recently found its stride, having won the Nations League Finals this past spring and claiming the Gold Cup title in 2023.
The only time the tournament was won by a country other than the U.S. or Mexico was in 2000, with Canada taking home the title that year.
Mexico is slightly favored to win the title at +100, while the USMNT follows closely at +110.
Let's dive into the odds as of July 1 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
CONCACAF Gold Cup winner
Mexico: +100 (bet $10 to win $20 total)USA: +110 (bet $10 to win $21 total)Honduras: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)
Guatemala: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)
Despite missing several stars this summer for various reasons — including Christian Pulisic, Jedi Robinson , Yunus Musah , Weston McKennie , Tim Weah and Sergino Dest — the U.S. found its rhythm, finishing the group stage perfectly with three straight wins.
The U.S. men's national team defeated Costa Rica in a dramatic quarterfinal match that ended in a six-round penalty shootout.
Goalkeeper Matt Freese played a crucial role in the victory, making three penalty stops, while Damion Downs clinched the win for the United States with his penalty kick.
With +110 odds to win the championship, the U.S. team sits just behind Mexico, the only team to advance without heading to penalties.
Given the odds, many expect a final showdown between the favorites, Mexico and the U.S.
Honduras and Guatemala find themselves tied for third at +1800, each having pulled off upsets over Canada and Panama, respectively.
Guatemala secured a remarkable victory against Canada after a seven-round penalty shootout in the quarterfinals.

Christian Pulisic sounded off on ex-USMNT stars who bashed the team
When it comes to the U.S. men's national team, there is never a normal day. It's a group that almost feeds off dysfunction, and there's been plenty of that this summer. That doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. USMNT star Christian Pulisic faced enormous criticism when he opted against playing for the national team in the Gold Cup, choosing instead to take the summer off for recovery. Now, under normal circumstances, the Gold Cup is a developmental tournament comprised of mostly B-team players. But this was the final competitive tournament for the USMNT before the 2026 World Cup. It made sense for the team's best player to be there with a new coach. And the most vocal criticism seemingly came from former players like Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Clint Dempsey. You best believe that Pulisic heard it all. In a new clip from Paramount Plus' Pulisic docuseries, the USMNT captain — along with Tim Weah and Pulisic's father, Mark — ripped into the comments from ex-USMNT stars. Weah went as far as to call the players "evil" for their remarks. Pulisic said: 'I'd say the most annoying thing, and for me, the biggest cop out of all-time is when all pundits want to say, 'They didn't want it. They didn't have the heart. Back in our day, we would fight and we would die on that field.'' Mark believed that those players were chasing "clicks" and podcast views. Drama is more compelling, and it suits those players to knock the USMNT in their post-playing careers. At the very least, it doesn't seem like the infighting between the current team and old guard will stop in the near future. If anything, this episode could be another escalation.

Pulisic docuseries inflames clash between current, former USMNT players
Christian Pulisic, his father Mark and his U.S. teammate Tim Weah re-ignited the public spat between current and former U.S. men's national team players in an episode of the 'Pulisic' docuseries released on Paramount+ Wednesday. Pulisic, in an interview filmed earlier this summer, called criticism of the team's effort and heart 'the biggest cop-out of all time.' Advertisement Weah, speaking about former players-turned-pundits, said: 'I think those guys are chasing checks. And for me, I just feel like they're really evil. Honestly. Because they've been players, and they know what it's like when you're getting bashed. Those are the same guys that'll turn around and shake your hand, and try to be friendly with you at the end of the day.' Mark Pulisic, Christian's dad, agreed: 'These guys want clicks. It's social media, it's 'subscribe to my channel, listen to my podcasts,' or whatever.'' The comments rekindle a war of words between generations that picked up steam following the USMNT's losses to Panama and Canada in March. Landon Donovan (now a podcaster and Fox Sports pundit) and Clint Dempsey (now a CBS Sports and Men In Blazers pundit), the top two goalscorers in program history, were among the vocal critics. 'I'm so sick of hearing how 'talented' this group of players is and all of the amazing clubs they play for,' Donovan wrote on X at the time. 'If you aren't going to show up and actually give a s!%* about playing for your national team, decline the invite. Talent is great, pride is better.' Weah, in an interview for the docuseries, said of the former players: 'Don't get me wrong, I respect all of them. They were the players that I looked up to. But quite frankly, the guys before us didn't win anything either.' Weah added: 'Christian himself has had a better career than every single one of the guys who speak negative on us.' Mark Pulisic, who previously inflamed the friction with an Instagram post implicitly responding to criticism from Donovan, said of former players: 'I think they should look in the mirror and look at their last performances for the national team before they start talking s***. 'It's jealousy. People want to be in his shoes, and they'll find any reason to bring him down. But Christian doesn't give a s*** about what anyone says.' The criticism of Pulisic crescendoed when he opted to skip this summer's Concacaf Gold Cup. Donovan, in the studio for a Fox Sports broadcast of Portugal's UEFA Nations League win over Spain, said during Portugal's emotional celebrations: 'I can't help but think about our guys on vacation, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's pissing me off.' Advertisement Pulisic, in an interview the following week with CBS Sports' 'Call It What You Want' podcast, defended his decision and addressed the criticism. 'You can talk about my performances, whatever you want, but to question my commitment, especially towards the national team, in my opinion, that's way out of line,' he said then. Pulisic reiterated that sentiment in the docuseries: 'I'd say the most annoying thing, and for me the biggest cop-out of all time, is when especially all pundits want to say, 'They didn't want it, they didn't have the heart. Back in our day we would fight and die on that field.' 'It's frustrating. We haven't had as much success as we would like. I think we have had some really incredible moments. But we're out here fighting. And I think if people knew what it actually meant to me and what it meant to our team and all the players, they would never question us. 'Come after whatever you want. Come after my performance, whatever you want to say, but to talk about my commitment, the commitment that I've given to this game, that I've given to my national team for 10 years – that's the only thing that starts to get on my nerves.' With several former USMNT stars now prominent in American soccer media, the clash between them and active players could be an ongoing source of noise between now and the 2026 World Cup. Tyler Adams, speaking recently to The Athletic, called the disconnect between current and former players 'the strangest thing.' 'I can't even explain it,' Adams said. 'I'm not a social-media guy, so I don't follow anything, but when people bring up some of the things that are being said and some of the stories that are being created, it feels weird, because it feels like not long ago that every single one of those people were on board with, like, the direction that the federation was going and how well the players were doing. And it feels like any setback is (treated) like a disaster is happening. Do you know what I mean? Advertisement 'And that happens in football. I get it. Some people have jobs where their job is to speak about the sport, and if that's their opinion, that's their opinion. My goal is to try to create an environment, especially within our team, where guys feel like they can go out, be themselves, be comfortable. We're all on the same page and want to grow the sport in America. People's opinions are people's opinions at the end of the day.' His comments triggered former defender and Fox Sports pundit Alexi Lalas. Lalas, speaking on his podcast this week, said of Adams: 'I thought that this was a strangely immature, and naive, and weak kind of take. Not that he's defending Christian Pulisic, because we're all going to do that, but the way he seemed to think that there should be no criticism and we should all be kumbaya.' The debate had quieted since the Gold Cup. But with European seasons commencing — Pulisic, who missed recent friendlies as a precaution, is preparing for AC Milan's first competitive match this weekend — and the USMNT set to reconvene early next month, it could heat up once again. Mauricio Pochettino's U.S. roster for September friendlies against South Korea and Japan will be released in two weeks. Spot the pattern.

The 2025-26 European Season is Make or Break for the USMNT Core
For many USMNT players, this European season isn't just about solidifying a place on their respective club teams — it's about trying to position themselves to make the 2026 FIFA World Cup squad. We've broken things down into tiers, as some players are dealing with specific challenges while others are kicking and scratching to capture Mauricio Pochettino's attention. For Mauricio Pochettino, things are far from ideal with the United States men's national team. Failure to win the Nations League and a heartbreaking final loss to arch rivals Mexico at the Gold Cup have left a sour taste in many mouths. Worse yet, strong arguments can be made that the national team has regressed under the often-bewildered Argentine manager. With a modest 10–6 record, Pochettino has found few answers — and has had even fewer time with a full-strength roster. And when it comes to his European-based contingent, many of whom can't be relied on to show up for camps, it's now make or break. Below are the groupings of several USMNT players who need to make an impact in Europe, or at the very least, prove their value as the nation approaches a home World Cup. The Locked Starters Entering his third season at AC Milan, Christian Pulisic is coming off a career best 2024-25 campaign that saw him record 17 goals and 10 assists. But while statistically it's been a successful run with Milan for Captain America, the club has had middling results, and is on its fourth manager since Pulisic joined the team. Early signs under Massimiliano Allegri indicate Milan is still Rafael Leão's team, with Pulisic being deployed on the wing or in the middle. Playing a supporting role has served Pulisic well in the past and could work again this season. But another slow year for Milan might see Pulisic labeled a 'good player on a bad team.' Talk in Italy about a potential overhaul if things don't improve has picked up steam. So while staying healthy and performing well are Pulisic's top priorities, the cloud of an uncertain future looms if Milan starts slow. Photo byWeston McKennie once again finds himself in a familiar situation at Juventus: an unsure future. In the final year of his contract, extension negotiations haven't progressed, and just as there were last season, grumblings of a sale have bubbled beneath the surface. But as usual, McKennie may just stay and once again become one of the team's most serviceable performers — perhaps even its captain. Expect more of the same, provided Juventus rebounds from recent down seasons. If he's sold, choosing the right club will be critical to maintaining his level heading into the World Cup. Then, there's Antonee Robinson, who has been the USMNT's most consistent player. If he can reproduce even half of what he did last season at Fulham, Pochettino will sleep easier come next summer. Should-Be Starters That Need to Perform Ricardo Pepi has a massive season ahead at PSV. He needs to prove beyond any doubt that he's the best striker in what remains a weak pool for the U.S. If he becomes a consistent scorer and starter, it's a no-brainer — no other striker in the pool has Pepi's poaching instincts. But he needs to shine. Chris Richards ended last season strongly with Crystal Palace and capped it off with an FA Cup win. While many fans remember that strong finish, Richards was also prone to mistakes throughout the campaign. This season, the expectation is clear: he must show maturity and consistency, as he's likely to be the leader of the U.S. backline at the World Cup. Tim Weah is fresh off a move to Marseille, following in the footsteps of his father George. The move to a new league was much needed, as he's yet to establish himself as an everyday starter in his career thus far. While he's proven himself to be a versatile and dynamic option, he needs to show that he's more than just a utility player. Cementing himself as a staple in the Marseille lineup could go a long way for his confidence going into the World Cup. Photo byTyler Adams and Sergiño Dest share a single goal: avoid injury. Adams, when healthy, is highly effective and is a key cog in the USMNT midfield. Dest, meanwhile, remains an enigma. Can he return to his earlier, confident form? He has one season to get back on track. On the bright side, there really isn't any serious competition on the national team that can challenge him at fullback. Ready for a Leap Malik Tillman has seen his career skyrocket. Now back in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen, the 23-year-old has a high ceiling. The hope is he can carry over his strong PSV form to his new club and prove his worth on a bigger stage after an up-and-down Gold Cup. Johnny Cardoso landed a big move to Atlético Madrid — but not because of his national team form, that's for sure. He's already worked under solid managers, but now steps into the intense world of Diego Simeone. The expectation? Add more bite to his game. The key question: can Cardoso finally translate his club success to the national team? Tanner Tessmann's move to Lyon has been unstable — an on-again, off-again starter. He did manage to end the season with more regular playing time as a pivot. If he wants a World Cup spot, he'll need to elevate his game. After being one of the more puzzling omissions from the Gold Cup roster, he has something to prove. A healthy Folarin Balogun improves the U.S. striker pool. But an on-fire Balogun could give the team real belief heading into a major tournament. At Monaco, he's been inconsistent, and has struggled to stay healthy (sound familiar?). A strong season could give him the edge over Pepi in the striker battle, which will have a massive impact on how the U.S. will play at the World Cup. Fringe Players With a Lot to Prove Photo byCenter back Mark McKenzie is clearly not one of Pochettino's favorites in defense. He'll need to be rock solid in France to earn consideration. Same goes for Cameron Carter-Vickers, who's either been injured or simply not in the conversation. Playing for Celtic may not be enough to impress the Argentine manager, and CCV will need a standout season. Joe Scally is solid and reliable, but rarely spectacular. A season in which he can add more attacking punch could push him closer to challenging Dest for the right back role. Another right back that has shown promise is Marlon Fossey. Now in his fourth season with Standard Liege, the 26-year-old Fossey deserves more looks after his two USMNT appearances. The next roster call-up will go a long way in revealing where he stands in the depth chart. Brenden Aaronson was a major disappointment at the Gold Cup. In a midfield now packed with names — but not necessarily quality — a strong Premier League season with newly-promoted Leeds could help him rebuild his standing. Right now, Aaronson's national team stock has plummeted. He's very much on the outside looking in. Gianluca Busio and Aidan Morris looked like they could be new midfield pieces, but as call-ups came and went, European-based players were oddly overlooked. Both now find themselves competing with MLS options. Morris has settled well in England with Middlesborough, but playing in the Championship won't turn heads. Busio is back in Serie B after Venezia was relegated last season. While he's thrived in the Italian second flight, a move to a mid-table Serie A side could help Busio's case, as he has the tools to be a very serviceable link-up player alongside Pulisic, Weah, and McKennie. Photo byNoahkai Banks is only 18, but if he can put together commanding Bundesliga performances with Augsburg, he could sneak onto a team that's still searching for stability in defense. The U.S. back line, even with experienced players, remains flimsy. The U.S. also has a crop of strikers who are long shots, but not totally out of the picture. Damion Downs, Patrick Agyemang, and Haji Wright — all in the Championship — aren't quite A-list names on paper, but poor seasons from higher-ranked strikers might open the door. Of the three, Wright appears the most capable of playing at a high level, plus he can also feature on the wing. In Total Limbo Photo byGio Reyna's proposed move to Parma is stalled. Even if it goes through, there are no guarantees. A fully fit and confident Reyna could be a game-changer — but what version of him will we see? A lot of questions, and little time for answers. Yunus Musah had a disappointing season at AC Milan. Despite rumors of a transfer, it looks like he's staying. Can he finally show improvement and add something to his game? Josh Sargent was left off the Gold Cup roster for 'footballing reasons.' Pochettino doesn't seem to rate him — and probably won't if he stays in the Championship. He reportedly turned down a move to Wolfsburg in hopes of landing with a Premier League team, but it's hard to imagine a top-flight team gambling on a striker who seems to only perform well in the second tier — a sign that Premier League clubs aren't buying the Championship hype either. Auston Trusty, the other half of Celtic's American defensive duo, has neither impressed Pochettino nor Celtic fans. Early signs suggest he could start this season, but his form will need to improve drastically as Celtic fans have been critical of the American.
