Last night marked the last time that the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team will play a competitive game before that huge tournament. The U.S. came up short, losing 2-1 in the final of the Gold Cup against Mexico, a match that wasn’t even as close as the score suggests.

Mexico is the defending champion and has the most Gold Cup titles, but the US brings a five-game winning streak into the title game in Houston.

The Americans grabbed an early lead, but Mexico responded and then scored the winner in the 77th minute to prevail, 2-1, at raucous NRG Stadium.
