Its been almost a month since the last post, I've been finishing up school and didn't get a chance to update it. Update: the USA Men's National Team won the Gold Cup (the regional international tournament of the CONCACAF - North & Central America + Carribean) , a mostly meaningless tournament, save for the fact that the winner gets a birth in the Confederation's Cup (the tournament for all the winners of the regional tournaments like the Gold Cup). They didn't play all that well, up until the second half of the final against Mexico (who beat Brazil 2-0 yesterday), but they looked good for a half - and Feilhaber's goal was unbelievable!

The U.S. now eye's Copa America, the South American regional tournament (they invite others to join which is how the U.S. are participating), but they will be facing much stiffer competition. The first game for the U.S. is tonight (6/28) against Argentina. I predict a 3-1 loss, with the goal coming from a Donovan penalty kick. I also predict Argentina to win the tourney, they've got their full squad, including Riquelme (the Brazilians are missing Kaka and Ronaldinho - they won't be miss them on the field), and they're looking for blood after the disapointing showing in Germany. We'll see how it pans out.
