The U.S. men’s national team, which faces Guatemala in a Gold Cup semifinal on Wednesday, came into the tournament in tatters but has found its stride.

The United States and Guatemala will go head-to-head for the first time in almost a decade in the Concacaf Gold Cup semifinals on Wednesday.

Seven-times CONCACAF Gold Cup champions the United States will not take Wednesday's semi-final against Guatemala lightly despite being overwhelming favourites, midfielder Tyler Adams said.
