Mark Noble had to cancel a holiday in Mexico in order to play on the England U-21 team in the UEFA U-21 Championships. Jonathan Spector played for the U.S. men's national team Saturday against Trinidad & Tobago in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Spector had some good play with midfielder Justin Mapp on the left side of the U.S. squad. Spector led Mapp nicely with a pass up the touchline that led to the first goal for the Americans, with Mapp assisting to Brian Ching. The U.S. won 2-0. Trinidad & Tobago made the finals of the 2006 World Cup, but the team in the Gold Cup has only one holdover from that team, as the players are disputing the payouts they received from the World Cup, according to the Fox Soccer Channel announcers. I will be attending the semifinals of the Gold Cup at Soldier Field later this month.
