Eight nations are taking part. They're divided into two groups of four. Every team plays the other three teams in its group.

The U.S. team's group matches, all in Frisco, are:

• 7:30 p.m. Wednesday against Costa Rica
• 3 p.m. Saturday against Mexico
• 7:30 p.m. next Monday against Puerto Rico

There's a complete schedule here.

Standings within each group are based on points. Teams get three points for a win, one point for a draw.
