duelo de preparación jugado en el Reliant Stadium de Houston, Texas.

Peralta 89', para los mexicanos.
Maybe it's just happening when I'm watching, but based on my (unscientific observations) it
seems that NBC has made an attempt to devote a little more time to coverage of the 2011 MLS Cup,
which takes place at 8:00 pm central time on Sunday. In light of the news that NBC Universal has
obtained a broadcast rights package for MLS matches starting with the 2012 season, it isn't
surprising that NBC stations and programs have given airtime to the 2011 MLS Cup.
U.S. Soccer extends its condolences to the family, friends and teammates of former Development
Academy and U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team player Jose Perez (1992-2011).
Perez, a freshman at San Jacinto College in Houston, Texas, was killed in a car accident on Tuesday
morning.
Almost 6,000 people showed up at Lockhart Stadium this Wednesday despite the rain and conflicting
U2 concert. It's all because our most hated rival came to town. FC Tampa Bay (aka Rowdies) came
into South Florida in search of points and unfortunately they took one point with them.
The Strikers dominated this game with an incredible 24 shots of which only 6 were on goal.

HOUSTON, Texas - As Honduras applied most of the pressure towards the end of regulation of its
semifinal match against Mexico on Wednesday night, there was a growing sense that maybe the U.S.
men's national team would not face its most bitter rival in the Gold Cup final afterall.

HOUSTON, Texas - Freddy Adu won't take it for granted. Not anymore.
After a near two-year hiatus, Adu made his return to the U.S. men's national team as second-half
substitute in its Gold Cup semifinals match against Panama on Wednesday night at Reliant
Stadium.
La selección mexicana de fútbol no dio uno de sus mejores juegos, Honduras fue un rival duro
de roer y el partido se torno demasiado fisico.
Aldo De Nigris abrió el cerrojo catracho al minuto 93 con un buen cabezazo dentro del area
festejando el gol con una patada al estilo tae kwon do para que 6 minutos después Javier
Chicharito Hernandez anoto el segundo de una manera poco común,aunque en realidad solo empujo el
balón.
In a match of limited opportunities, Clint Dempsey made his one chance count, scoring from close
range after a fantastic set-up from Landon Donovan and Freddy Adu in the 77th minute. Dempsey's
goal would be all the U.S. needed to defeat Panama 1-0 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas and
advance to the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final on Saturday.

HOUSTON, Texas - In the end, the U.S. men's national team got the last laugh against Panama.
The United States got vengeance for its group stage loss to Panama, defeating Los Canaleros,
1-0, in the first match of a semifinal doubleheader at Reliant Stadium on Wednesday night.
Sunday afternoon at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC, the United States hosted Jamaica and Panama
played El Salvador to determine which teams would advance to the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals
at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas on Wednesday night.
It was US hoping to get past Jamaica in the matinee match, and get by Jamaica they did thank to
goals from Jermaine Jones and Clint Dempsey.

Mexico may have won its quarterfinals match, but it doesn't look as unbeatable as it did in the
group stage.
El Tri advanced to the semifinals of the Gold Cup with a 2-1 comeback victory over Guatemala in
front of a crowd of 78,807 at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
On June 11th at Robertson Stadium, Dynamo defender Mike Chabala, fans and families of pediatric
cancer patients will be hosting the 3rd Annual "Bald is Beautiful" celebration from 4:30pm to
7:30pm prior to Houston's match against Chivas USA.
I will be covering the event for the blog to help raise awareness about not just this event but
all the work The Curing Children's Cancer Fund does in the effort to find a cure for childhood
cancer by providing financial support for some of the country's leading pediatric cancer
researchers.
It's safe to say that Johnny Jolly will never play in the NFL again. In fact, Jolly may never be
a free man again. The defensive end for the Green Bay Packers was arrested on Friday for having
more than 400 grams of codeine when he was pulled over by a cop on a traffic stop. On Wednesday, a
judge denied him bond, which means Jolly will have to stay in jail until at least April 20th.
Residents of Houston, Texas awoke this morning to discover that they live on the East Coast of
the US.
In what seems a very comical move, today the Houston Dynamo officially moved to the MLS Eastern
Conference.
Houston?
Of course, this only increases the likelihood of them becoming the 2011 Western Conference
champions!
