With the 2-0 shutout last night, the U.S. extended its shutout streak in Gold Cup group play to 702
minutes spanning seven-plus matches and three tournaments. The last goal scored against the United
States came in the 18th minute of the 4-1 win against Cuba on July 7, 2005, in Seattle. Goalkeepers
contributing to the cause include Marcus Hahnemann and Kasey Keller (2005), Keller and Tim Howard
(2007), and Troy Perkins (2009).

See The Cup 18 June @ 11:15 AM EST
I know the country is not the "miss congeniality", but how cool is that? Since 1966, when
Portugal eliminated them with a 5-3, North Korea does not play a World Cup. Even cooler? South
Korea will be there, forcing commentators to say "North" or "South" instead of just "Korea". The
qualification came after a 0 draw with Saudi Arabia.

This week's reel leads off with Freddie Ljungberg's finesse shot against San Jose. Definitely the
classiest finish of the week but Corey Ashe deserves some sort "Best Supporting Male"-esque award
for his assist to Cam Weaver; he was Cuba to Cam's Tom on this one.

As you may have read over at TOW --TOR's California cousin-- the rumored U.S.-Iran match looks set
to happen as a 2-legged affair; the talk out of Iran is that the Yanks will play the first match
away in Tehran on 10.10.09 with the home match slated for LA on 11.14.09. But note that the US is
already slated to play Honduras in a World Cup Qualifier on 10.

Seguro que le costó dormir el domingo. Debió estar dándole vueltas al resultado una y otra vez.
Hasta que por fin el presidente del Gobierno se convenció:
ni él mismo con su cohorte de
milagreros podÃan revertir el 1-0 del Real Jaén a la Ponferradina.

I haven't done a roundup of league action throughout the Caribbean in the past. Information from
the island countries isn't easy to get and is very spotty when it does arrive. (But thanks to Edwin
for his regular updates on Puerto Rican football!) It's past time for me to do the same kind of
update that I do for Central America, so here it goes.

Looks like Dominic Cervi, a young American goalkeeper, is set to join Celtic. He had trained with
the national team after rejecting a Major League Soccer contract.
It's always nice to see Yanks sign abroad.
Turns out, another young lad is turning heads over in Europe.
15-year-old midfielder Luis Gil has received some interest from Arsenal.

ATLANTIS are not the most glamorous of teams to play for, but Helsinki football has been a
revelation for their Antiguan striker since he signed for the Ykkönen side. Having played part
time in his homeland, making ends meet by working as a journalist, the opportunity to play
professionally arrived late for Skepple.

Due to the growing concerns about the outbreak of swine flu in Mexico, CONCACAF General Secretary

Well folks, the US has done it again. As you'll see in the right margin the US U-17 team has been
to every U-17 World Championship since FIFA started hosting the tournament in 1985 and this summer
will be no different. With two wins in the first two matches at the CONCACAF Championships,
currently being playing in Mexico, the US stamped their ticket to this summer's World Cup in
Nigeria.

Honduras hizo pedazos a cuba y le endoso seis goles y estados unidos tenÃa una tarde
aparentemente tranquila pero se le complico al final y saco un cuatro a dos ante una difÃcil
Canadá.
De antemano sabÃamos de la superioridad hondureña ante cuba, la cuestión era ver que tan
favorable podÃan poner su goal average, hicieron seis, pero la forma seguramente no los dejara
nada tranquilos, apenas comenzaba el partido cuando uno de los muchachos cubanos al parecer se fue
de la lengua con el árbitro y este no titubeó en sacarle la roja, si de entrada el partido se
veÃa difÃcil para ellos esto complicaba mucho más las cosas.

There must be something about Starbucks that lures Cuban soccer players to Seattle. Four years
after Maykel Galindo joined the Seattle Sounders, Drew Carey's new club has lured Osvaldo Alonso to
the birthplace of grunge. Fresh off his USL1 rookie of the year season with the Charleston Battery,
Alonso is poised to patrol the Sounders midfield in front of Kasey Keller.

Last week I had posted about the Wizards having one of the recent Cuban defectors out at practice
last week, training with the team, and today we have an update on the situation. At the time I had
said that the player was either Pedro Faife or Reynier Alcantara, both of whom had defected before
the US vs Cuba game in DC in October.

Thad over at The Back Post has a post about today's practice out at the Swope Park training
complex. The good news, Josh Wolff is out practicing after rumors were he could miss the remainder
of the season with an injury. The bad news, Roger Espinoza sat out due to the injury he suffered in
the reserve game up in New England.

Well well well. As a USMNT fan, is it possible to be up set with the 6-1 victory of Cuba on
Saturday? Is there really any way you can walk away from watching that game and have a sour
taste in your mouth? HOW COULD THAT BE?! Alright, enough with the melodrama. All in all, Saturday's

Day late and a dollar short and all that ;-). Anyway, I didn't really take too much from this
match. I know, I know, I'm totally jaded, emitting a resounding "meh?" in the wake of a
6-1 victory. The Cubans were shorthanded, outclassed, and we got the goals we needed. The play
wasn't magical to watch, but we were completely dominant in a match we should dominate.

Another tournament, another defection. The Washington Post is reporting that two members of the
Cuban National Team defected prior to Saturday's World Cup qualifier. That brings this year's grand
total to nine.
Seeing as how you could almost field an entire team with this year's defections, it seemed like a
good time to give a full list of those who have wandered away from their hotels to try their luck
in MLS/USL.
