The US is in the final of the Gold Cup?

I've been watching the highlights of the Gold Cup games on YouTube. Why? I don't know.

But I was amazed to see the US has made it to the finals. How did that happen? Light competition I guess. They have to play Mexico though, in Houston of all places. 

I think it is going to be ugly, it will basically be a home game for Mexico and they are going to want to send a signal, especially with the unpleasantness currently between the US and Mexico.

I expect a chippy match from the start, most likely a fight or two with lots of yellow cards and probably a red.

I'm going to predict a Mexico victory, 3-1.

Am I a traitor for not picking the US? 

No, I'm a Nostradamus and this is what I see.
