Mexico and Jamaica are officially the last two countries remaining in the 2015 Gold Cup.

After group stage play and two bruising knockout rounds, these are the only two nations left standing. Mexico and Jamaica won't face off until Sunday, but the storylines could be better for soccer fans.

Here are five things you should know about this year's Gold Cup final.

1. First For the Caribbeans

As many already know, this is the first time the Jamaican National Team has ever made it to the Gold Cup final. However, there's more to it than just that. Jamaica is also the first ever Caribbean team to make the finals in this tournament. Other Caribbean nations, such as Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti, have advanced to the playoff stage, but all lost in the quarterfinals. Ironically, the reason Jamaica qualified for this year's Gold Cup was because they won the 2014 Caribbean Cup. Despite not being part of continental North America, Jamaican fans have well represented their soccer team in this Gold Cup.

2. Polar Opposites Collide

Mexican fans are pretty used to seeing their team in this situation. Mexico will be playing in their record eighth Gold Cup final. Mexico, who ranks 40th in the FIFA rankings, has a 6-1 record in the Gold Cup finals. Their only loss came to the United States in 2007. As for this Jamaican squad, it's looking to make history. Not only have they never won this tournament before, but they have to dethrone the most successful CONCACAF team in soccer history. Until now, Jamaica's best finish at the Gold Cup was in 1993 when they placed third overall.

3. Not Their First Rodeo

Mexico and Jamaica don't have a huge rivalry like Brazil and Argentina, or Germany and Italy, but they've still got a little score to settle. Since their first meeting in 1962, Mexico has maintained a dominant edge over Jamaica: 17 wins, four loss and just two draws. Jamaica has never defeated Mexico at the Gold Cup, however they have beat them multiple times in World Cup qualifiers. Mexico is 5-0 against Jamaica in Gold Cup games, and you can bet their fans know this. It hasn't been a very even rivalry, but it's a heated one.

4. Mexico Penalties

Jamaica can be a pretty physical team. They play great defense, but they shouldn't get too physical because Mexico has been deadly with penalty kicks. Incredibly, all three goals that Mexico scored in the first two rounds of the knockout stage were by penalty kicks from Andrés Guardado. His first penalty kick in the Panama game was met with plenty of controversy because it came in the 89th minute of play, and many felt as if Román Torres should not have been called for the penalty at all. Regardless, Guardado has been striking like Cristiano Ronaldo from the line.

5. Elite Goalkeepers

Don't expect a shootout or high scoring game in this contest. Two of the last three Gold Cup losers in the finals didn't even score a goal. Jamaica has been an incredible story primarily for their goalkeeper, Ryan Thompson, after an early injury in group play sidelined starter Dwayne Miller for the rest of the tournament. Thompson has stepped up big time, shutting out Costa Rica and Haiti, and allowing just one fluke goal to the United States off a defensive rebound. As for Mexico, Guillermo Ochoa has been the force between the pipes. Ochoa only allowed a goal in one of his first four games. On top of that, he has only allowed one total goal in his last four games, which came against Panama in regulation.
