U.S. men’s soccer team to play at U.S. Bank Stadium

The U.S. men’s national soccer team is coming to the Twin Cities this weekend.

The USMNT will play Costa Rica in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup at 6 p.m. Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. Teams in the other, 3 p.m. quarterfinal at the Minneapolis venue will be set Tuesday night.

The semifinals will be July 2 and final is July 6.

All four of Minnesota United’s international players are in contention to make it the Gold Cup’s knockout rounds: Dayne St. Clair and Tani Oluwaseyi (Canada), Carlos Harvey (Panama) and Joseph Rosales (Honduras). They will play their final group-stage games Tuesday.

The Americans are 3-0 in the tournament mostly made up of North America, Central America and Caribbean teams. The U.S. beat Haiti 2-1 on Sunday, topped Saudi Arabia 1-0 on Thursday and blew out Trinidad and Tobago 5-0 on June 15. Saudi Arabia also came out of that four-team group.

Before the tournament, the U.S. had lost four straight matches under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
