The United States and Mexico both enter the Gold Cup as the headliners, with Mexico's Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and the rest of the squad getting top billing as defending champions.
As for the U.S., head coach Bob Bradley, the Gold Cup is vital because of the team's stated desire to not only be regional champions, but also compete in the 2013 Confederations Cup. By winning the Gold Cup tournament, the United States would qualify as a contender. However, beating Mexico won't be easy and the reality is that for the first time in several Gold Cups the United States doesn't enter as the favorite. Mexico, led by 'Chicharito', Giovani Dos Santos and veteran Rafa Marquez, enters the tournament as the pic to win it all.
