The USMNT was absolutely dominant today taking on Cuba at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore for their Gold Cup quarterfinal matchup. Jürgen Klinsmann’s side was lead by three goals scored by who else but Clint Dempsey, the last one courtesy of a wonderful square ball in the box from Michael Bradley.
Below are all three wonderful efforts of Dempsey’s hat-trick. The first of the three goals came early on in the 4th minute of the game from a fantastic cross by Timmy Chandler.
