The long, long, long dispute between a group of players from Trinidad & Tobago's 2006 World Cup
squad and their national football federation reached a new but not yet final phase today when many
of the physical assets of the federation were seized by order of the Trinidadian High Court. (The

When Sigi Schmid said Saturday, "there are a couple guys I'm concerned about a little bit that I
don't think came back as fit as I would have liked," some alarm bells went off in with in the
Seattle Sounders fanbase. The question asked concerned how the team needed to change training in
light of the CONCACAF Champions League series against Santos Laguna that starts a week and a half
prior to League play.
Ricardo Clark certainly makes his goals count. Two of his three career international goals have
been game-winners, and both in dramatic fashion. In addition to last night's header in the seventh
minute of added time, Rico drove home the lone goal in the 1-0 against Trinidad & Tobago on Sept.

Panama grabbed a 2-1 lead over Costa Rica following the first leg of the Central American playoff
for the region's third and last berth in the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying finals. Costa Rica will
return home to Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto in Alajuela on Nov. 3 for the second leg.
Both teams are looking to join fellow Central American neighbors El Salvador and Honduras, as well
as automatic qualifiers Canada, Mexico and the United States in next year's eight-team finals.
Panama and Costa Rica will go head-to-head twice over the next two weeks to determine which country
will join the U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team in CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying. The aggregate
winner joins El Salvador and Honduras as the third and final team from Central America in the
qualifying tournament.

Ten years ago today on Oct. 7, 2001, the U.S. Men's National Team faced Jamaica on MatchDay 9 of
final round qualifying for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Having lost three straight matches, the USA's
place in Korea/Japan was by no means certain. In order to qualify that day and avoid a nail-biting
finish, the U.
Today CONCACAF World Cup qualifying starts for 19 more national associations in the confederation,
with matches going on from Toronto to Georgetown. (Or is Paramaribo further south?) This post will
be updated throughout the day with results and events as they come in, but I'll be working so it
will be more of a semi-live blog.

The Philadelphia Union announced on Monday that Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeper Thorne Holder has
been reacquired.
Holder was waived on July 26, presumably to free up an international spot on the Union roster.
With the summer transfer window now closed, and the sole Union signing being the American Freddy
Adu, Holder returns to the club to re-fill the vacant third goalkeeper role.
I just finished writing my column for The Press-Enterprise. Shockingly, it was on Bradley and
Klinsmann and how the move was the correct one.
Now, I'll post a link when it's published but one of the points I made is one I've blogged about
here. I translated the results from the Gold Cup over to World Cup qualifying and said that the U.
The draw was held today in Brazil.
And from the looks of things this is about as easy a path as the USA could hope for. No real
threats until the Hexagon.
The USA enters in Round 3 (of 4) and has been drawn into Group A with Jamaica & the winners of what
look to be the 2 weakest groups from the previous round (Rd 2) E & F.

The Union announced on Tuesday afternoon that third-string goalkeeper Thorne Holder has been
waived.
The 25-year-old Trinidad & Tobago native was acquired by the Union from Adelphi University on
March 1.
Holder made no professional league appearances for the Union.
The big news from yesterday's announcement by the FIFA Ethics Committee was the life ban to FIFA
Executive Committee member Mohammed Bin Hammam, but there were other decisions that affected
officials in CONCACAF. CFU members Debbie Minguell and Jason Sylvester, both of Trinidad & Tobago,
were banned from participating in all soccer-related activities for one year.
Word out of Trinidad today is that Sporting KC has a new central defender. Long time target Daneil
Cyrus is on his way to KC on a loan deal from his Trinidad club, Santa Rosa FC apparently. Cyrus
had impressed during the preseason and the team had tried to work out a deal, but back in March
word from Cyrus' club was that the offer was too low.
Javier Hernandez has scored yet another goal for Mexico in the Gold Cup, this time against
Guatemala. After going a goal down early on this quarter-final, Aldo de Nigris equalised for the
Mexicans, before Chicharito scored the winner on 66 minutes.
Mexico will now face Honduras in the semi-final on June 22nd and could face USA, Jamaica, Panama
or El Salvador in the final, with the other quarter-finals being played today.
O Comitê de Emergência da FIFA decidiu hoje, 17 de junho de 2011, suspender a Federação
Belizenha de Futebol (FFB) com efeito imediato em função de grave interferência governamental.
Com a suspensão, fica adiada a partida de volta da fase preliminar das eliminatórias para a Copa
do Mundo da FIFA 2014 marcada para o dia 19 de junho em Belize entre a seleção da casa e
Montserrat.
Later today the 2014 World Cup qualifying cycle will start with the preliminary round tie between
Montserrat and Belize. St Lucia and Aruba were supposed to get things started a couple of weeks
ago, but those matches were pushed back for who knows what reason. Montserrat-Belize could be
postponed at the last minute, and there have been rumblings from Belize about a standoff between
the national government and the federation that would produce just that, but Montserrat's team is
in Trinidad & Tobago and they expect the match to go ahead today.
La Eliminatoria para el Mundial Brasil 2014 empezó el 15 de junio de 2011 en Couva (Trinidad) con
la visita de Belice a Montserrat en el estadio Ato Boldon, que atrajo a unas 150 personas. Deon
McCauley, de Belice marcó el primer gol de la competición en el 2-5 a favor de los
centroamericanos.

Alpha United became the first Guyanese club to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League after
defeating Trinidad's Defence Force in the third place game of the CFU Club Championship. The match
finished 1-1 after 120 minutes, and Alpha United won on penalties. More information to follow
later. Tempête and Puerto Rico are playing the final of the CFU Club Championship, but I have not
seen a final score yet.
Last night Tempête FC became the first Haitian side to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League
after defeating Trinidad's Defence Force on penalties in a CFU Club Championship semifinal. The
match ended goalless but Tempête won the penalty shootout 4-2. This is very positive news for
Haitian football a year and a half after the catastrophic Haitian earthquake, and if the Haitian
federation can find a stadium in the country that meets CONCACAF standards, they will play either
Isidro Metapán or Morelia in the preliminary round.
Puerto Rico Islanders will face off against Haitian club Tempête FC in the final of the 2011
CFU Caribbean Club Championship.
Defending champions from last year, Puerto Rico Islanders are hoping to become the first team in
over a decade to win back-to-back titles having overcome the challenge of Alpha United on
Wednesday.

You could be forgiven for thinking there is only one English-born player currently turning out for
Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS.
Given that the player in question is David Beckham, arguably the most famous footballer of his
generation, you can understand why.
But there is another, and it charts another remarkable chapter in the football career of Chris
Birchall.
GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala (March 29, 2011) – The U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team opened its
CONCACAF U-20 Championship campaign with a 4-0 win against Suriname at Estadio Nacional Mateo
Flores in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Four different U.S. players scored, with Conor Doyle leading
the offense with a goal and two assists, Kelyn Rowe netted a goal and an assist and Bobby Wood and
Joe Gyau each added a goal.
