The 17th edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup will be having its kick-off this next Saturday. The 16 teams get ready to fight each other on the group stage to see which of them will be the 8 to make it into the Knock-out stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first Matchday will start on Saturday 24th, and continue up to Tuesday 27th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the Groups set, we know who will be playing first, as the matches will take place in the order of the groups. This means that A team will have the match to kick off the cup, with the Saturday Meeting between USA and Jamaica at 9:30 PM ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are excited to see how things will unfold, and where we will be standing this Wednesday as the 2nd matchday begins, but first, let’s break down what we believe will be the 3 most important games in the first matchday.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n When: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday, June 24th \u2013 09:30 PM ET at the Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Moneyline odds:<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamaica +380<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n USA -147<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Draw:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n +310<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Where can I watch it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Concacaf GO<\/a><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the coaching uncertainty and a scandal that broke out following their exit from the 2022 World Cup, the Americans put it aside this past weekend and lifted another trophy on the continental stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That coaching question has since been answered as Gregg Berhalter will re-assume his role as full-time manager when this competition concludes, after being away from the sidelines while the US federation looked into a domestic abuse case involving the man who guided them to the finals in Qatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the Caribbean men, making their fifth successive trip to the Gold Cup, there is a belief that this upcoming tournament may be the last opportunity for many Jamaican standouts to win a trophy on the continental stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamaica came close to winning this competition not too long ago, becoming the first island nation to reach the final in 2015 and making it again two years later, but falling at the final hurdle versus Mexico and the USA, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The United States has perhaps the best talent pool to choose from in all of CONCACAF, and although many of those selected have not played together on the international stage, they should be familiar with one another as all but seven of them currently feature in MLS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Jamaica, their golden generation is nearing its end, and their lack of cohesion could cost them this weekend against a side with a ton of attacking quality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sunday, June 25th \u2013 08:00 PM ET at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Moneyline odds:<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Honduras +500<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mexico -157<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Draw:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n2023 Gold Cup Matchday 1:<\/strong> Jamaica vs. the United States of America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
