Guatemala stymies U.S. offensive to keep the tie in Texas

In a friendly match under warm Frisco, Texas skies, the United States could not pierce the net of their Gold Cup 2007 opponent, ending the game tied at zero. The young U.S. team should have won this one, and they knew it, ending the game visibly frustrated. Although they played competent defense, their strikers seemed confused at times, kicking late or early, high or low. The U.S. has never lost to Guatemala on U.S. soil. Since the teams' second meeting in 1988, their record now stands at 9-0-5. The U.S. will need a stronger performance to win in the Gold Cup.
