I haven't had a chance to see the play and knowing Honduras, a foul in the penalty area isn't
beyond belief but Courtney Campbell has for the third time in three matches involving Mexico
awarded Mexico a penalty kick. In each match, the game was tied 0-0 at the time of the call.
This time it was a 73d minute penalty kick in Mexico's World Cup Qualifier with Honduras.

For those of you who paid attention to my very inactive Twitter feed, I was on holidays all week.
I'm back now, and here's a quick summary of what's happened in the past week at Toronto FC...
On August 12, we signed Haitian international left-back Lesley Fellinga, who had previously played
in the Eredivisie at Heerenveen.

Finally, Toronto FC have found a way to eliminate a Puerto Rico Islander -terminate his contract.
TFC announced the release of defender Marco Velez after 38 appearances for the club. The enigmatic
29 year old was capable of the odd solid game but all too often was caught on the wrong end of a
defensive blunder.

Colorado Rapids midfielder Colin Clark has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee,
the club announced Tuesday.
Clark suffered the injury in training Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the 2009
season.
Surgery to repair the injury is scheduled for next week.
Clark started in 16 games this season, playing 1,421 minutes.

Bye bye Velez?
Steve Goff, from the Soccer Insider, is reporting that we are closing in on a deal for Haitian
international left-back Lesly Fellinga. The 23 year-old has been capped 4 times by Haiti, and for
me, would be a welcome addition to a very weak Toronto FC defense.
If we do sign Fellinga, we will have back up for Jim Brennan at left-back, and that gives us the
potential to put Jimmy B at centre half, where he played quite well for us in year one (but that
year sucked, so it's really hard to say.

Rapids midfielder Colin Clark has returned to the Colorado Rapids after playing for the United
States at the Gold Cup. The U.S. finished second to Mexico, losing 5-0 in the final on Sunday. I
caught up with Clark after training this morning (Friday), as the Rapids prepared for Saturday's
match against the Columbus Crew.

It's flying under the radar even by American soccer standards, thanks in part to the extensive
coverage of the cash cow "World Football Challenge" going on across the country, but the final
stages of the Gold Cup the CONCACAF confederation's biennial championship are upon us. Tonight I'll
be attending the semi-finals of the Gold Cup at Soldier Field, Chicago.

What has changed since our Group Stage scouting report on Honduras? Well, the 'beat the United
States' prediction took a bit of a hit. The United States turned a questionable first-half into a
game winning second, beating Honduras 2-0 on July 8th on their way to winning Group B. Honduras got
a 4-0 win in their final Group B game against Grenada, but the United States and Haiti had already
shown that Grenada was over-matched.

This might be the best use of a soccer jersey this week.
Charlize Theron was just one of the stars who turned out for Chelsea's 2-0 win over Inter Milan
last night at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Oh, and more than 81,000 others did, too. The international friendly was the second soccer game
in the US to draw over 80,000 people (Mexico/Haiti in the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup on Sunday
in Dallas was the other).

Davy in the Haiti match.
First of all, a big congrats to Davy! He has been named to his 1st MLS All-Star team by Houston and
All-Star Head Coach Dominic Kinnear. In fact, Davy was the only player chosen by Kinnear who
doesn't play for Houston or Seattle. We all know how excellent he has been over the last 8 seasons,
and the rest of the country is taking notice.

U.S. coach Bob Bradley has recalled defender Michael Parkhurst to the squad for Thursday's
semifinal against Honduras. The FC Nordsjaelland-based defender appeared in the USA's group games
against Honduras and Haiti before returning to Denmark to start the league season. Parkhurst is the
only addition to the roster, increasing the total to 19 for game day selection.

If this C-list United States team manages to make the Gold Cup final in New York – and that is a
muy grande "if" – I'm thinking the Americans are going to struggle against Mexico. I was the
Dallas Cowboys' spectacular new edifice to watch Mexico pick apart the overmatched side from Haiti.

Nine different players have scored the 10 U.S. goals through four games at the Gold Cup. Until
Stuart Holden became the first repeat scorer against Haiti, the first seven marked first time that
seven straight goals in a Gold Cup have come from seven different players. Freddy Adu, Stuart
Holden, Robbie Rogers, Charlie Davies, Santino Quaranta, Brian Ching and Davy Arnaud set the U.

By AriesAs we reported yesterday Carlos Vela's injured foot sustained two weeks ago while on duty
for Mexico has been troubling him lately. So much that he missed training and there were fears that
he would not only be missing Mexico's next few games but Arsenal's pre season too.Now Vela himself
feels that his chances of making the game against Haiti on Sunday have improved.

Press notes available here. Here's the highlights:
• With two goals and one assist, Stuart Holden is tied on top of the scoring charts at the
CONCACAF Gold Cup after group play with Panama's Blas Perez. Five other players have scored two
goals.
• The U.S. has now been undefeated in group play at all 10 Gold Cups with a 23-0-2 record.

Young 20 years old Carlos Vela is ready to shine for his native country, as he has fully
recovered from his leg injury which he suffered in the first match of the Gold Cup 2009 (Copa de
Oro) against Nicaragua.
The Mexican national side arrived yesterday in Dallas (Texas), to prepare for the upcoming
Quarterfinal clash, when Mexico take on Haiti at the Cowboys stadium.

Mexico's Carlos Vela will face a late fitness test to determine whether can feature in Mexico's
next game in the Gold Cup, El Tri's last 8 game against Haiti.
The Arsenal striker told reporters how he is feeling better and wants to be in the starting
eleven on Sunday:
Every day I feel better with more confidence to get things done.

I leave for a couple days and what madness happens...
The USMNT -- albeit a much different side than the one that rivaled Spain and Brazil -- needs a
last-second goal from Stuart Holden to beat Haiti (a country smaller than Hawaii).

Miller Lite Man of the Match by media members.

1st Half: In the early stages of the match, the US looked dominant. Arnaud, in
only his 4th international appearance, buried a very early goal to give the US the early lead. The
goal really belonged to Cronin and Holden though. Cronin took it from Haiti in midfield and dished
to Holden who perfectly slotted the ball on to Arnaud's foot.
