Gold Cup Results for US Men's National Team - So Far, So Good.

The first two matches for the US Men's National Team have gone into the Win column and by the looks of things, confidence on the squad is at an all-time high after the extremely successful Confederations Cup tournament.

Grenada fell to the US in their first match 4-0 (perhaps the most notable goal-scorer in the match being Freddy Adu who is still very much pushing for a roster spot at WC 2010) which was to be expected. Tonight's (July 8th) match-up versus a tough Honduran squad was more difficult but 2 late-game goals by Brian Ching and first-time National team scorer Santino Quaranta (of MLS's DC United) secured the victory in the 75th and 79th minutes.




The US is atop its group with two victories and plays Haiti in their final group game at Gillette Stadium in Boston on Saturday, July 11th. Another victory there should ice the group and see the Americans on to the quarter-finals.

While the Gold Cup may feel a bit less exciting or important than the Confederations Cup, it's still an important tournament for US coach Bob Bradley as he begins the process of refining his talent for the USA's participation in World Cup 2010.
