The memories may have mostly faded from the United States men's national team missing the 2018 World Cup at the hands of Trinidad and Tobago, but kicking off the Gold Cup by facing them, the opportunity for a spiral into darkness is there. The USMNT have lost four consecutive matches in all competitions and couldn't be entering the Gold Cup on a worse run of form, while also being expected to win the entire tournament.

Hindered by Weston McKennie, Tim Weah and Gio Reyna all being at the FIFA Club World Cup this summer, along with Christian Pulisic opting to use the summer to rest, Mauricio Pochettino is using an inexperienced lineup. Tyler Adams may also not feature in the match after injuring his foot, but he did work on the side in the lead up to the match. If he can't start, his calmness and defensive abilities will be missed in the center of the park as the USMNT need a bounce-back performance.
The United States have had success facing Trinidad and Tobago, but they did fall in an away match in 2023. Squaring off in the Nations League, the USMNT took care of things in the home leg, winning 3-0, but when the tie went to Trinidad, Sergino Dest was sent off in the first half, leading to a USMNT loss. These kinds of moments, losing their heads, seem to happen more against Trinidad and Tobago than facing other teams. It's quite a concern coming into this match when the USMNT aren't in good form, but it will also make for a good test.
