CONCACAF Gold Cup hits the Midwest and West Coast over the next several weeks, as Mexico look to repeat as champions and become the first nation to win 10 Gold Cups.

The Gold Cup is a soccer competition that takes place every two years, pitting national teams from Concacaf (North America, Central America and the Caribbean) against one another in a 16-team tournament.

For 23 fleeting minutes, the USMNT was atop CONCACAF. But it succumbed to a Mexican comeback, and, in the end, a better team. So it settled for second place at the Gold Cup.
