No, teams in the Premier League just have more money than in other leagues (which tend to be more top-heavy). Schalke or Lazio may finish higher in the league table, but Sunderland can outspend them.

That Martinique goal was so sick.
Jozy has been in Europe for a number of years, and I hope he'd have save some of that money. While Sunderland can certainly pay him more money, teams like Schalke regularly play in Champion's League, which would have been a better move for him. Still disappointed, though hoping for the best.
the Gold Cup was amazing today
Didn't watch the game, but that result for Mexico...man...I enjoy!

They looked pretty awful most of the game. Their goal was against the run of play. They had a decent stretch in the second half, but it was a very deserved win for Panama.

First two group games shouldn't give the US too much trouble, but surprises can always come up. It's a good test for a few guys that have been out of action on the international level for a while, and it ramps up nicely to the Costa Rica game next week and the knockout phase.
A couple articles on Donovan this morning:
- MLS Soccer: Is Landon Donovan "back" in the USMNT fold after Guatemala win? Not so fast
- Jeff Carlisle: Donovan's U.S. return takes positive, not definitive, step
Galarcep's projected lineup against Belize might be pretty close to what we'll see. I suspect Klinsmann isn't going to make wholesale changes to the starting lineup from Friday, but you never know since the second half against Guatemala looked much better than the first half.

Silly question. We should be trying to win everything.

Jozy's transfer to Sunderland is complete for 13 million dollars. I can't believe he's still only 23 and that his Villarreal transfer was in 2008.
I saw his first professional goal *tear*
And I have a 2006 Red Bulls jersey signed by him.
I wonder if he's into tall blonde chicks after his team in Holland

Given how often we have the reverse problem out here on the West Coast (have to leave work early to catch an East Coast kickoff), you folks should be able to handle the occasional late night start. At least it's only a Gold Cup group match against Belize.
best coast, bro
Word.
I can deal with staying up till 12 am for a game. Pacific states get screwed more though. Tape delay for live events would infuriate me. Fuck that.

I think they're starting to notice a correlation between when I wear my USMNT jacket and when I bail out of work early.

My work is home to a fairly large contingent of soccer fans (including in management). During Euro last year, we had a crew of 3-7 (depending on the day) taking long lunches every day to watch games at the pub. We've got I think about 5 or so Sounders season ticket holders (myself included). For the WCQ last month, we had 2 cars full leave work at 1:30 to go drinking before the match. It was before I started here, but apparently for the 2010 World Cup, the little auditorium for meetings was booked all tournament for showing the games live. We actually have 2 indoor soccer teams in a local league (I've played outdoor since I was 6, but just played indoor for the first time here. It's more like hockey).

Also, is there no live streaming on the Concacaf website this year?

I don't think so. If they do a link would be appreciated.

The US needs to pick up the tempo a little bit. As they try to play faster, it's easier to notice the better passers and the guys with a clean first touch.
