Gold Cup: USA vs. Belize

[CarolinaPanthers8789 4,525]

Tonight is the opening game of the Gold Cup for the U.S. Men's National Team.

 

The U.S. is playing in Group C with Belize, Costa Rica, and Cuba

 

When: 11:00 P.M.

Where: Fox Soccer Channel

 

The United States is up to 22nd in the Coca-Cola FIFA Soccer Rankings and are playing the 130th ranked Belize national team... If the boys play like they did against Guatemala in the tune-up match, this won't be a close game at all.

Just make sure you guys are here tonight, last game it was just me and Sapper.

I wish we could get ESPN to start covering more of these.

I'm in for any good match especially USA.

 

This should be a rout given how we have played recently. I think our offense is showing so much promise right now. I hope klinsmann tells them to go for it.

Hah, I plan to be back on here tonight again.

[CarolinaPanthers8789 4,525]

Yeah, I particularly like the Gold Cup because it gives everyone a chance to see all the players with a lot of the players training or playing games (MLS) with their club teams.

 

It's nice to see Donavan back out there.

 

I'm extremely excited for Stuart Holden, he has worked his ass off to get back to this level and he had a magnificent game against Guatemala.

11 PM? I gotta be up for work at 5 otherwise I probably would watch it. Not really a US soccer fan though. My family is English and both my family over in the UK as well as my father over here are huge England fans, so I've never been able to get into the US soccer team and really feel for it.

If you are talking about the way the game is played then I totally agree with you. I have a friend that plays college soccer that turned down UNCC because their coach plays an English style game more than an American game.

If you are talking about who is better overall, it's close. Currently England is ranked 15th where the U.S. is ranked 22nd and the last time we played, it was a 1-1 draw.

11pm and I have to be up at 5am :-(

With an assist tonight, Donavan would become the first player in U.S. Soccer history to record 50 goals and 50 assists in international play.

Donavan is currently at 51 goals and 49 assists.
