DID YOU KNOW?
This is the second time the United States and Panama have met in a Gold Cup final. The Yanks won on penalties in the 2005 edition.
The Americans have won the last three meetings between these sides. Panama's last victory over the USA was in the group stage of the 2011 Gold Cup.
No matter what, a player from one of these two sides will finish as the tournament's top scorer. Panama's Gabriel Torres and the USA's Chris Wondolowski and Landon Donovan all currently have five goals.
The United States are on a 10-match winning streak, the longest in U.S men's national team history.
Panama are on a decent run of its own, with four victories (including a pair of 2-1 wins over Mexico) and a scoreless draw in their last five games.
USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann will leave coaching duties to assistants Andreas Hertzog and Martin Vasquez, following his suspension by CONCACAF for being sent off at the end of the USA's semi-final victory over Honduras.
