The final of the 2009 Gold Cup almost seems to be a repetition of event of the one in 2007, falling through in a sequential pattern. Just like in the 2007 final of the gold cup, the USA team is going to play opponents Mexico this year. The US team had also defeated Honduras 2 to nil in the group stages match, a repetition of the events of 2007. That year the US team had gone on to clinch the Gold Cup, sealing their entry in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. The only difference is that in 2007 they had to prove themselves, this year they are already proven a worthy team.

The two of the most dominant nations are participating in the CONCACAF meet for a Herculean battle on Sunday, to lay their claim on the trophy. The match is supposed to be telecast on the Fox Soccer Channel on Sunday noon, July 26, 2009 at the Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The scheduled time for the event is 15:00 EDT. The Giants Stadium, which has a capacity of about 78,741, is surely going to be a overcrowded arena as the two teams get down to some serious business in the finals.

USA has defeated teams like Panama (2-1) and Honduras, while in the knockout stage to enter the finals this year. Mexico, likewise, has ousted teams like Haiti (4-0) and Costa Rica (1,5- 1,3), while traveling ahead in its journey in to the finals. In a matter of few hours it will be decided which team is going to head home with the cup in the tenth season of the Gold Cup.
