I think there are some soccer fans hanging around here, figured it might be nice to have a thread for the upcoming Gold Cup and potentially various happenings from now to World Cup qualifying. There aren't really any stakes other than pride for the Gold Cup winner, but it will be Berhalter's first real competition as national team manager. There's another friendly today, against Venezuela. The friendly a couple days ago didn't exactly go well, but that was our B/C team at best (which will likely be the case again today). Hopefully they show a better effort today, and I'll be extremely curious to see how we fare in the Gold Cup when real play gets started.
