The Gold Cup is not a great tournament - CONCACAF is not a powerful conference, so the final game is usually Mexico vs. The United States. So was the case this year. Mexico had been playing well throughout the tournament while the US struggled in some games. I expected a good game since the US has dominated in the ten years.
Brittany and I went to watch the game at Lansdowne Road (a very very good sports bar). Clay came and Fisola was in from DC.
The game was painful at the beginning. Mexico tried a few times but could not get past Howard, arguably the best player on the US team. Out of nowhere, Bradley scored. Not to long after that, Donovan scored and Mexico found itself in a 2-0 deficit. Mexico was able to tie in the first half and add two more in the second half. Giovanni Dos Santos sealed the game with an amazing goal.
Here is a recap of all of the goals:
Here is a clip of the last goal... amazing:
