United States Vs. Belize: When And Where To Watch Gold Cup Match; Preview [LIVE STREAM]

The United States is a slight favorite in Group C but with a strong Costa Rican team also in the four-team pool, the USMNT will certainly help their chances of advancing to the elimination round in the 2013 Gold Cup with a victory over Belize.

Belize does have its fair share of talent but when compared to a United States team that has been playing well lately - the U.S. leads the CONCACAF hexagonal in World Cup qualifying - Belize seems to be outmatched.

When and Where to Watch Gold Cup Match

The USMNT will meet Belize on Tuesday, July 9th at 11:00pm, EST from Jeld-Wen Field in Portland, Oregon. Television coverage will be provided by the FOX Soccer Channel with an on-line live stream available through FOX Soccer 2 Go.

Match Preview

Jurgen Klinsmann's United States team enters the Gold Cup with a significant advantage as far as professional players are concerned along with holding the home field advantage in the tournament's opening round.

Making the countries 12th tournament appearance, USMNT fans will be happy to see Landon Donovan and Oguchi Onyewu on the pitch as both players look to make a strong showing to indicate that they still hold value for the national team.

Opening their tournament against a Belize team they should defeat followed by a showdown with Cuba, the United States has a great opportunity to claim 2 early wins in Group play well before a potential match-up with Costa Rica for group supremacy comes calling.

Major League Soccer stars Corey Ashe, Tony Beltran and Chris Wondolowski will also be featured on a U.S. team expected by all to compete at a high level throughout this event. Claiming championships in 1991, 2002, 2005 and 2007, the winning pedigree is certainly here to Klinsmann and his squad entering their Tuesday night opener.

While the U.S. features many highly-recognizable athletes, Belize will have to rely on some lesser-known talents, including Deon McCaulay.

McCauley has recorded 14 goals for his national team in 21 appearances and as the squad's most dangerous offensive threat, his play will dictate how competitive Belize will be. The striker will also find assistance from CD Marathon keeper Shane Orio.

If Orio can provide the team with strong play between the pipes and McCauley works his magic on the offensive end, head coach Ian Mork and company may find themselves within striking range late in their game against the USMNT.
