U.S. men's national team defeated Costa Rica 2 -2 and 4-3 on penalties in Gold Cup quarterfinal.

Left back Max Arfsten had been the most maligned member of a struggling USMNT .

Tillman 's penalty bobbled wide, and Costa Rica ’s Kenneth Vargas beelined toward him, hurling taunts into fresh wounds.

Many observers have bemoaned the diminishing of that spirit in a program that used to scratch and claw for results.

But on Sunday , it was “tested,” as Adams said, and for the first time in a long time, it met the moment.

Pochettino: “It’s difficult to win with talent alone”.
