Sheay scored the game winner after sucking it up last week. Wasn't expected to even play.

Crazy pass by Donovan. Wow. First goal given up in 765 minutes for Costa Rica.

Ze German won't be coaching tomorrow night's game

Jurgen Klinsmann was suspended for one game Friday by CONCACAF's disciplinary committee, the result of his ejection in the 87th minute of a 3-1 victory over Honduras in the semifinals Wednesday.

Klinsmann was dismissed "for showing dissent towards the referee by throwing the ball in a violent manner," the disciplinary committee found, and said FIFA rules require anyone ejected from a match to be suspended for the following game.

The decision cannot be appealed.

Makes one wish Bobby Knight had coached soccer at some point

Panama looked good all tournament. Nice to see USA win the Gold Cup. Will be awesome to be in the Confederation Cup again!

That's not guaranteed. You will have to play the winner of the next GC to see who gets the ticket to the next Confederations Cup.

Forget that the Confederations Cup is every 4 years. So if someone else wins the the GC in 2015, US would play them in a one match game?

That's really sad. Didn't even look like he tweaked it bad or anything either! Might be time to give it up Holden.

When they were doing the knee stability tests on him right after the injury, you could see pretty clearly that one knee was giving way more when they were testing the ACL. Tough injury for the guy, he seemed to just be regaining confidence.

Not to mention that the knee that got messed up wasn't the knee that made contact with the opponent, he was simply coming down.
