A tournament that began with the surreal subversions of Florent Malouda ended in much more predictable fashion as the favourites and hosts won their sixth Concacaf Gold Cup in California . The US needed a late winner from Jordan Morris to beat Jamaica, 2-1, an outcome that was merited on the balance of play but still felt cruel on the underdogs, who defended with courage and conviction and played most of the match without their captain and best player. The Americans had ample possession but plenty of frustration as a careless defensive moment early in the second half squandered the breakthrough of Jozy Altidore’s spectacular goal near the end of the first. While any final is by definition a special occasion, this match took on the tenor of a typical night for the US whenever they meet a smaller nation in Concacaf play: the requirement to unlock obdurate opponents who mainly pose a danger on the counter-attack.

The US next face Costa Rica in World Cup qualifying at Red Bull Arena on 1 September, with a trip to Honduras four days later. “We knew it wasn’t going to come easy. [Jamaica have] had a very good tournament,” Bradley told Fox Sports. “This was about a group of guys winning a trophy and that’s been the only goal. We’re going to enjoy it and tomorrow and the next few days we’re going to start to refocus.”
