Their quarterfinal showdown with Costa Rica in Minneapolis turned into a nerve-shredder. After 120 minutes couldn't separate the sides in a 2-2 thriller, it all came down to spot-kicks. Matt Freese stood tall with three clutch saves, and Damion Downs iced the game with the winning penalty, booking the U.S. its 17th trip to the Gold Cup semifinals.
As for Guatemala, they've been punching above their weight. After finishing second in Group C, trailing Panama but edging out Jamaica and Guadeloupe, they entered the quarters with something to prove.
And prove it they did. In a barnburner against Canada, Los Chapines came from behind after Jonathan David's penalty put them down.
Rubio Rubin nodded home the equalizer in the 69th minute, and a nail-biting shootout followed. Josée Morales coolly slotted the winner in the seventh round, sealing Guatemala's first semifinal berth since 1996 and sending the underdogs into dreamland.

USA vs. Guatemala starting lineups, team news
Mauricio Pochettino kept confidence in goalkeeper Matt Freese after his glaring error against Haiti, and his penalty shootout heroics rewarded that faith. It's hard to imagine too many changes to the lineup the rest of the way, although the boss could consider a switch at left-back as Max Arfsten has been defensively porous. John Tolkin could get a chance.
Johnny Cardoso picked up an ankle injury and missed the quarterfinal match, while Haji Wright's Gold Cup is over due to an Achilles injury.

The U.S. are without injured regulars Sergino Dest, Antonee Robinson, Ricardo Pepi, and Folarin Balogun for this tournament, while Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, and Gio Reyna are unavailable as they are participating in the Club World Cup. Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah requested to have the summer off and are not with the side.
Yellow card accumulation is wiped in the semifinals, meaning players can only be banned from the final if they are sent off in this game.
USA predicted starting XI (4-3-3, right to left): Freese (GK) — Freeman, Richards, Ream, Arfsten — Berhalter, Adams, de la Torre — Tillman, Agyemang, Luna.
Injured: Cardoso (ankle), Wright (Achilles), Pepi (knee), Steffen (knee), Dest (fitness/knee), A. Robinson (knee), Balogun (ankle).

Suspended: None.
The Guatemala attack is led by former USA international Rubio Rubin who switched to represent Guatemala in 2022 after none of his seven USMNT senior appearances cap-tied him to his country of birth.
They have two players who feature prominently at MLS clubs. Goalkeeper Nicolas Hagen backs up American starter Patrick Schulte at the Columbus Crew while right-back Aaron Herrera plays for D.C. United.
Head coach Luis Fernando Tena decided not to call in veterans Alejandro Galindo or Carlos Mejia, both of whom have over 50 international caps but are now 33 years old.

USWNT revives set piece dominance with 3-0 win over continental rival Canada
The third and final match for the U.S. women's national team in its busy window, and arguably its toughest test against continental opponents Canada, ended with their third consecutive victory. The USWNT sealed a 3-0 victory at Audi Field in Washington, DC in front of a sold-out crowd Tuesday evening. Goals from midfielders Sam Coffey and Claire Hutton opened the scoring in the first half; both were results of set pieces delivered by the third midfielder in their lineup, Rose Lavelle. Second half substitutes Yazmeen Ryan and Tara McKeown combined in the second half to bring the U.S. up to three. Advertisement Coffey's 17th-minute goal was her third in the last five games for the U.S., and Hutton's, a head nod off a corner kick in the 36th minute, was her first for the U.S. senior team. Fifty-three minutes later, McKeown, who was very much at home in Audi field where she plays for the Washington Spirit, carried the ball confidently forward before releasing it to Ryan. After wresting herself from pressure near the top of the penalty box, Ryan unleashed a left-footed shot past Canadian goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan, the final blow to the Canadians, who are currently ranked eighth in the world. The U.S. victory caps off two 4-0 wins against the Republic of Ireland in Commerce City, Colorado, and Cincinnati, Ohio, last Thursday and Sunday, respectively. Across the three fixtures, the USWNT scored 11 goals and conceded none, all while head coach Emma Hayes has employed a heavy rotation of players throughout this international window. The team's starting XI for its second meeting with Ireland was a completely different lineup from the first. The lineup for Tuesday's match against Canada, however, was nearly identical to last Thursday's, except for 32-year-old striker Lynn Biyendolo, the most capped forward with 83 appearances, replacing 21-year-old Ally Sentnor. Advertisement The opening minutes of the match saw the U.S. on the front foot against a Canadian side that was organized and steely and under new head coach and former San Diego Wave manager, Casey Stoney. Goalkeeper Claudia Dickey, who earned her second start and second cap, made a critical save against her Seattle Reign teammate Jordyn Huitema to maintain a first-half shutout. As the game wore on and the U.S. tightened its grip, exploiting the flanks with slicing balls through and over the top to wingers Alyssa Thompson and Michelle Cooper, Canada began to crumble. The margins were exacerbated by the sticky D.C. heat; the game kicked off at 7:30 p.m., and temperatures were still in the mid-80s. The humidity made it feel like 90 degrees for the 19,215 in attendance. Hayes continued to make changes in the second half, bringing on Sentnor and forward Emma Sears for Lavelle and Cooper, and Ryan and Sam Meza for Biyendolo and Hutton, respectively. Meza, along with defender Lilly Reale, who started and played the whole game, are two of the three young players called in to this camp from the under-23 group, a move reflecting part of Hayes' larger project to develop both national teams. Advertisement Convincing win aside, the U.S.'s performance was not without its critiques. At halftime, Hutton pointed out on the TNT broadcast that the team looked 'a bit messy' at times, and that they needed to play quicker, smarter, and score more goals in the second. TNT sideline reporter Melissa Ortiz also relayed early in the second half that there were issues with the midfield rotation and that Reale needed to push up higher. The next set of USWNT matches for its window in October are yet to be announced, but the trio of victories have provided ample studying notes for Hayes as younger and less experienced players made their cases to be included in the core group Hayes wants to identify as they build toward the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.

Detroit Tigers' Riley Greene, Javier Báez and Gleyber Torres voted All-Star Game starters
Detroit Tigers stars Riley Greene, Javier Báez and Gleyber Torres were named to the American League All-Star team after fan voting on Wednesday. It is the first time since 2007 that the Tigers have had three players elected to start. Torres will start at second base, and Greene and Báez will start in the outfield. If pitcher Tarik Skubal is named to the team, four of the eight defensive players on the field will be from Detroit. Greene made his All-Star debut last year as a reserve. In the 2025 season, he has accumulated 21 home runs, two of which came on Wednesday during the doubleheader with the Washington Nationals. Greene was drafted fifth overall by the Tigers in 2019 and made his MLB debut after playing on the Tigers' minor league affiliates. Báez, who was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 2011, joined the Tigers in 2021. After playing in the minor leagues from 2011 to 2014, Báez made his debut with the Cubs in 2014. He was traded to the New York Nets in the middle of the 2021 season before he signed with the Tigers months later. Báez made his MLB debut in Detroit in the 2022 season. Greene and Báez became the first Tigers outfield duo selected to start in the All-Star Game since Ron LeFlore and Rusty Staub in 1976. Torres, who signed a one-year contract as a free agent with the Tigers, was selected as a reserve in 2018 and 2019 when he played for the New York Yankees. Torres signed with the Cubs in 2013 as a non-drafted free agent and was later traded to the Yankees in 2016, playing for a minor league affiliate. He made his MLB debut in 2018 and appeared in the World Series for the first time in 2024. Note: The video above previously aired on June 17, 2025.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh 'glad' MLB All-Star voting process is over: 'Seeing your face everywhere is a little uncomfortable'
Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is being rewarded for his historic start to the season. On Wednesday, Raleigh was named a starter for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, earning his first All-Star nod while being voted the best catcher in the American League. But while Raleigh is pleased about the opportunity, he has another reason to be grateful All-Star voting has ended. While speaking with reporters ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals, Raleigh said he'll be happy to have a little bit less publicity. "Obviously, I'm very blessed, very excited and very honored. It's a cool accomplishment," Raleigh said, via The Seattle Times' Adam Jude, before adding: "I'm just glad it's kind of over, too. Seeing your face everywhere is a little uncomfortable. But I was just very happy." Raleigh, a Seattle fan favorite with a notorious nickname, has burst onto the national scene this season with a hot streak of homers. The 28-year-old catcher has hit a league-high 33 home runs so far (nearly a career high) while boasting a .272 average that far exceeds his previous seasons. In addition to his All-Star bid, Raleigh's early run also earned him a spot in the Home Run Derby. Advertisement For weeks, the Mariners have been pushing Raleigh's talents with "for your consideration"-style posts. These posts have used peaches as a recurring motif — both as a reference to Atlanta and Georgia and as a nod to Raleigh's "Big Dumper" nickname. For Monday's game against the Royals, as All-Star voting wrapped up, Seattle altered its walk-up music in honor of Raleigh's nickname, with a playlist of songs about butts. Julio Rodriguez walked up to T-Pain's "Booty Wurk." Randy Arozarena took the plate to Kelis' "Milkshake." Raleigh himself had Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back" as his walk-up song. Now, all of that is over for Raleigh, who says he celebrated the news with the team and Mariners manager Dan Wilson on Wednesday. The catcher added that he apologized to the team for "all this nonsense that's been going on for the last couple days, with all the voting and stuff. Advertisement "Dan said a lot of nice words. All the guys were very happy, congratulated me. It means a lot," he added. Raleigh himself is getting a well-deserved rest Wednesday, with catcher Mitch Garver filling in. But even with the All-Star Game in two weeks on July 15, Raleigh is looking beyond that.
