Gold Cup Final is Set: US vs. Mexico. Again. Posted: 24 Jul 2009 11:40 AM PDT Anybody else have an overpowering sense of déjà vu? Feel like we’ve been here before? First we have the USA beating Honduras, 2-0. Again. Just like in the group stages. And now they’ll go on to play… Oh, you’ll never guess! Mexico. (I know, right? Shock.) For the USA, the biggest difference from two years ago was that in 2007 the Gold Cup was their first tournament after an extremely disappointing 2006 World Cup. Team USA wanted to prove itself, so they called up the top guns. Landon Donovan played a big role, as did goalkeeper Tim Howard. (Forgotten how big this was? Check out the roster.) This time the team had already proved themselves last month in the Confederations Cup by downing #1 team Spain and coming oh-so-close against Brazil in the final. Coach Bob Bradley has used the 2009 Gold Cup as a training experience for his B (or is it C?) team; it’s been a time to trot out some new faces to see who might deserve a look for the World Cup squad next year. (Stuart Holden, I believe he’s lookin’ at you. Did anybody else look at Holden’s inch-perfect corner last night that gave Clarence Goodson the goal and think, “Wow. No wonder Houston’s kind of sucked without you”?) Troy Perkins, battling with Brad Guzan for the #2 keeper spot, had some nice, acrobatic saves, and in the end a tiring Honduras couldn’t overtake the US. Kenny Cooper came on late and provide an 90th-minute insurance goal, and USA moves on. Over on the other side of the bracket, the Mexico-Costa Rica game had all drama everybody expected, including a near-brawl, a saved penalty, and late goals (88th minute for Mexico, with a 93rd minute equalizer for Costa Rica.) Extra time was scoreless, and Mexico finally took the match 5-3 on penalties after Guillermo Ochoa stopped a shot by Froylan Ledezma. (Costa Rica fans can’t be too upset with Ledezma, though, since he was the 93rd-minute goalscorer.) Since there is nothing really at stake here but bragging rights (Confederations Cup berths are only given out in the year after World Cup), Mexico is also largely fielding a B side. So the two big questions will be:Which team has the better up-and-comers? And will Mexico be able to shed its jinx playing on American soil?) We’ll find out on Sunday. Final schedule: Sunday, July 26 – New York (Giants Stadium) 3 p.m. EDT

Cover Your Ears! Vuvuzela World Record Attempt Tonight Posted: 23 Jul 2009 09:43 AM PDT The Confederations Cup is over. And the 2010 World Cup is still 11 months away. But the vuvuzela stories just keep on coming. First there was Austria banning the little plastic horns for some very unconvincing safety reasons, and now an army of vuvuzela blowers will be making a world record attempt. The vuvuzelatasic world record attempt will take place tonight at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, where South African teams Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will play to decide who faces Man City in the final of the Vodacom Challenge. The good people from Guinness World Records (who somehow combine drinking with accurate fact checking) will be there to adjudicate while as many fans as possible for a 30 second duration. It’s not clear what the final total of simultaneous hornblowers will be, but apparently the first 20,000 through the gate will receive a free instrument (corporate sponsored of course). So the number should be 20,000, plus whoever brings their own. If you’re part of the crowd that wishes death to the vuvuzela, you’ll want to get as far from Port Elizabeth as humanly possible this evening. But if, like me, you think the little plastic horn is basically harmless and can actually sound very pleasant in the right hands… then you should probably still flee in terror. Because there’s now way 20,00+ vuvuzelas blowing for 30 consecutive seconds is going to sound good.
