Reasoning	GOLD Cup – Final USA started the tournament very well, but how the stages were passing their performances were going down. They are counted as favorites for winning this tournament only because they are playing at home and because Mexico was underperforming in almost all of their matches. Also USA was dominating in matches against Mexico when the matches were played on USA soil and Mexico is without win for more than ten years there. Mexico is underperforming in all matches on this tournament, but their goal was to reach the final and even with this kind of bad performances they fulfilled their goal. Mexico reached the final of the GOLD Cup 5 times in their history and all 5 of they won the Cup. But, until now, they haven’t meet USA in the finals. There is big rivality between these two teams and today I expect tough fight and I do not expect bigger support for the USA team from the crowd because there is huge number of Mexicans in the USA and they will give their support for their national team. I think that this Mexico team has much more to offer and when would be the right time than in the final. The motivation on both teams will be on very high level, but despite the home ground, I think it is about time Mexico to show their quality.
