Кубок Nike US 1999 года был приглашенным турниром из четырех стран, спонсируемым Nike, Inc. и организованным Федерацией футбола США (USSF) в марте 1999 года. Четыре команды включали в себя ведущий Соединенные Штаты , Мексика , Боливия и Гватемала . В этом году Гватемала появилась в первом и единственном появлении в Кубке, Боливия играла во втором кубке, а Мексика появилась в третий раз, выиграв последние два издания, в 1996 и 1997 годах. Мексика снова выиграет в этом году, за третий титул подряд. В то время как в предыдущие годы в Кубке США было участвовало четыре команды в турнире Round Robin, когда команда имела лучший рекорд, претендующий на титул, в этом году USSF решила использовать формат с двумя играми. Победители первых двух игр встретились за титул в первой игре второго двойного заголовка, в то время как проигравшие в первых двух играх сыграли друг друга во второй поздней игре DoubleHeader.
11 марта: первый двойной заголовок
[ редактировать ]In the first game of the 1999 Nike U.S. Cup, the U.S. defeated Guatemala 3–1. Coming into the match, seven of the U.S. starters had five or less caps. This showed in the early going as Guatemala controlled the run of play. However, the U.S. slowly regained its composure and using its strength in the air, began to send high balls into the Guatemala area. Ante Razov, Ben Olsen and Brian McBride all had headers saved by Guatemala keeper Edgar Estrada in the first half. The first goal of the game came in the 22d minute when Ben Olsen sent a cross into the area from the right. Brian McBride headed the ball towards the front of the goal where Joe-Max Moore quickly blasted into the top of the goal. In the 37th minute, McBride headed in a cross from Razov to give the U.S. a comfortable 2–0 lead going into halftime. However, the Guatemalans came out looking to score and finally found the net after Eddie Lewis took down Guillermo Ortega in the penalty area. Jorge Perez took the penalty kick and put it past U.S. keeper Zach Thornton. As the score remained 2–1, Guatemalan frustrations boiled over and Erick Miranda hacked at Joe-Max Moore in the box approaching the 90th minute. Moore turned around and retaliated only to find both himself and Miranda ejected. Both would miss the second game of the cup. As the victor, the U.S. would go on to the title game against the winner of the second game of the day.

March 13, 1999: second doubleheader
[edit]The second doubleheader in the 1999 Nike U.S. Cup took place on a clear, 70 F day in San Diego, California. In the first game, the U.S. and Mexico met for the title. The game turned against the U.S. in the 17th minute. José Manuel Abundis carried the ball down the left side of the field before sending a cross in towards Francisco Palencia. U.S. defender Robin Fraser closed on Palencia, but Fraser slipped and the cross ran off his body into the net for an own goal. In the melee in front of the goal, Palencia struck U.S. starting goalkeeper Tony Meola in the face, putting him out of the game. While Meola and U.S. coach Bruce Arena later argued that Palencia had deliberately struck Meola in the face, no foul was called and the goal counted. The goal held until the 51st minute when Frankie Hejduk scored his second goal of the tournament with a first time shot off a Fraser cross. However, Mexico struck back six minutes later when Joel Sanchez shot from 12 yards out. Backup U.S. keeper Zach Thornton blocked the shot, but the rebound went to Abundis who scored from two yards out. The U.S. pressed for an equalizer, but Mexico's defense held and Mexico took the game and the 1999 Nike U.S. Cup title.
