All-Gold Cup Team

As noted by FC Rockey, Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado Rapids) and Frankie Hejduk (Columbus Crew) were the only 2 Americans to make the all-tournament team. Damarcus Beasley (PSV) and Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy) got honorable mentions. Jocelyn Angloma of Guadeloupe also made the 2nd team list. It's good to see the 41 year-old got some props. Too bad that there isn't some sort of "little engine that could" award but little Guadeloupe deserved it. Not only to they punch above their weight but they did it playing some attractive soccer.

Benny Feilhaber's Golazzo!

If you don't get Fox Soccer Channel, or you didn't sit through a Spanish language broadcast, or you didn't search out a soccer bar in your town, or you were working on a Sunday and had to follow via lame ass match tracker, you missed an incredible goal. This is the kind of world class stuff the US is starting to produce with some of the younger, more skilled soccer players joining the senior national team.

I'll be frank with you, I thought Benny Feilhaber's match yesterday against Mexico was sub-par. In the semi-final I was calling for him to replace Michael Bradley. When I saw him start on Sunday I was excited...but then the game dragged on, the US went down 1-0 and Benny wasn't producing.

Well this goal erases all of that.

The young Brazilian born American is the future of our midfield.

Luis Bueno goes further to compare Benny's goal to the goal that knocked Mexico out of the 2006 World Cup.

Enjoy the clips.
