Your USA/Jamaica Gold Cup Quarterfinals Open Thread

The Gold Cup's knockout stage commences for Estados Unidos de América this afternoon. The Americans face a threatening Jamaica side that has some scared for Bob Bradley's coaching life, particularly since victory-bringers Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey were allowed to break away for family weddings and whatnot yesterday.

Game's on Fox Soccer Channel; coverage starts at 2:30 p.m. Winner advances to Wednesday's semifinals against the winner of the Panama/El Salvador match. The winner of that match faces the winner of Mexico/Honduras in the finals.
