Only four of the top eight teams from League A will survive the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals and automatically qualify for next summer's Gold Cup.
The fourth-edition of the Concacaf Nations League is well underway. After an action-packed group stage, the top two sides from each group advanced to the quarterfinals, where they joined the top four pre-seeded League A teams awaiting the knockout stage.
The resulting four quarterfinal matchups are each a two-leg home-and-away series. The pre-seeded teams all have the advantage of playing the second leg at home. After both legs are completed, the aggregate score winners will punch their ticket to the next round.
The U.S. men's national team comes into the competition as the defending champions. In fact, the Stars and Stripes won all three previvors editions of the tournament, most recently beating Mexico for the prize back in March. With Mauricio Pochettino now at the helm and Christian Pulisic headlining the USMNT's squad, the Stars and Stripes are the favorites to hoist a fourth-straight Concacaf Nations League trophy.
