HOUSTON (AP) — Chris Richards has noticed a turnaround in the U.S. team during the CONCACAF Gold Cup, a change from both the end of coach Gregg Berhalter’s tenure and the start of Mauricio Pochettino’s.

Concacaf Gold Cup is reaching its climax, with Mexico facing the USMNT for the championship on Sunday, July 6. Despite their impressive performances, neither team's players lead in scoring. Instead, a surprise contender is emerging as the tournament's potential top scorer.
