We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!
Off season be damned! The Gold Cup starts tomorrow and continues through a final on July 26. After taking much of the summer off, FSC will be covering the matches, which start with Canada vs. Jamaica from the Home Depot Center at 9 p.m. EST tomorrow.

Group C:
Mexico
Nicaragua
Panama

The U.S. fittingly start their campaign on the 4th of July at 2 p.m. EST in the Qwest Field, Seattle against Grenada. So stick a dog or two or the BBQ and tune in with me.
Well, well, well. An interesting start to the Gold Cup with plucky El Salvador defeating top of the CONCACAF qualification Costa Rica 2-1 last night to go to the top of Group A.
Didn't you love the ruck between the benches and the pitch invasion? No love lost between the Ticos and Salvadorans.
But what impressed me is how toothless CR looked. Deny them a plastic pitch, and they're pants.
Unfortunately, I didn't catch last night's match, just the result, so I missed the great ruck. I'll try to catch the highlights on FSC.
I'm not sure about tonight's match either. It may have to make way for the fireworks display over Lake Erie. I desperately need a DVR.
The U.S. moved to the top of Group B qualifying last night with a stonking 4-0 win over Grenada with goals from Stuart Holden, Robbie Rogers, Freddy Adu and Charlie Davies.
Honduras beat Haiti 1-0 in Group B action. I still haven't caught up with the match, so I'd be interested to hear accounts from those of you who did.
Mexico broke their rotten run of form last night with a serviceable 2-0 win over Nicaragua. The surprise of the tournament so far saw Guadelupe defeating Panama 2-1.
