I meant to do this 5 days ago (7-8-09but got sidetracked like a lion hunting for antelope at a yarn factory. I went to the USA vs Honduras Gold cup game last week, and USA continued their undefeated streak at home. 2-0 was the final. Very good game. It was my first Soccer game, and it was more ecstatic and electric there than all 3 baseball games and nfl games I've ben to combined. Here are a few pics, the first from the first game (it was a double header) between haiti and grenada (who absolutely sucked) and a few vids from the wild crowd. See? no one there for the haiti game... guess there aren't many hatians in DC area. It was at RFK. My seats were there in the first pic. 20 feet high off the ground, about 20 rows back. Very good seats for $25. People Piling in now... USA!!! U-S-A!!!Just kidding. My wife made me dress in blue and white to support her country... ug. I could see the ambulance from my seat ready to play! Thats me... Here are the vids...first the opening of the second half.. listen to the crowdhttp://

Their defense is amazing, only allowed honduras to have 3 shots on goal. The front line had 9 shots, two of them goals. Final score:USA-2 Honduras-0
