“It wasn’t our best game, but our aim was just to get through – and we’ve done just that,” explained McKennie after the game. It was the USA’s fourth straight win without conceding in the tournament.

USA will face Jamaica in the semi-finals on Thursday (4/7). They defeated Panama 1-0 in their quarter-final. The other semi-final will see Haiti take on Mexico.
