Side Kicks: I love it when a plan comes together

Side Kicks: I love it when a plan comes together

We've got a lot of questions this week, so I'll just make quick mention of the Gold Cup final.

On second thought, the less said the better.

It was pretty awful to watch (the second half at least), but deep down I really didn't think this squad had a chance against Mexico. Truth be told, I didn't think the U.S. would get past Honduras in the semifinals.

That being said, I think it's still a pretty solid accomplishment for that particular group of players to have reached the final. It wasn't all that long ago that our 'A' team was hard-pressed to get a result against the top clubs from the region.
