Personally, i think the United States will win the Gold Cup. They're the strongest team in the region.

USA-Mexico in final :)

I don't know too many of the teams well, but Costa Rica has a couple of good players in the Danish league (Bolanos and Oviedo) so I hope that they'll advance. But Mexico and USA are probably the two best teams by large.

I saw the Costa Rica - Cuba game, i was impressed with costa rica, they do have some nice players like Bryan Ruiz and Oviedo as you say :)

but cuba were terrible! and most their players were african..

The only thing i expect from the Cubans is how many players are going to defect on the tournament. :P

Honduras thrashed Grenada 7-1. :D

I don't know why are we glad about defeating the smallest nation in the tournament.

Honduras thrashed Grenada 7-1. :D

At first I read that Honduras thrashed Canada and thought - WTF! :D

Congratulations to the Mexican team, they have a great coach and i think they would qualify to the World Cup as the first ones on the final stage.
