The 10th Edition of the Concacaf Gold Cup will be played in 13 different USA cities this summer. The opening match happens on July 3, 2009 at the Home Depot Center in
Carson, CA and the Final will be played on July 26, 
2009 at the Giants Stadium in New
York.
12 nations will battle for the title and the crown of the best team of the North and Central America region: USA, Mexico, Canada, Jamaica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
The groups are still to be decided but the matches schedule is already out:
* The Home Depot Center, Carson (Group matches on 3 July)
* Qwest Field, Seattle (Group matches on 4 July)
* Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, Oakland (Group matches on 5 July)
* Columbus Crew Stadium, Columbus (Group matches on 7 July)
* Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, Washington, D.C. (Group matches on 8 July)
* Reliant Stadium, Houston (Group matches on 9 July)
* FIU Stadium, Miami (Group matches on 10 July)
* Gillette Stadium, Foxborough (Group matches on 11 July)
* University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale (Group matches on 12 July)
* Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia (Quarterfinals on 18 July)
* Dallas Cowboys New Stadium, Arlington (Quarterfinals on 19 July)
* Soldier Field, Chicago (Semifinals on 23 July)
* Giants Stadium, East Rutherford (Final on 26 July)
Mexico and the U.S. are always the big favourites to claim
the title but other nations that in my opinion could surprise the big guns are El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras and hopefully Canada, eh?
I'm already making plans to go to as many matches I can and I'll keep you guys posted.

Note: in a quick comment on the US MNT match against El Salvador I can only say that after dominating the Concacaf World Cup qualifiers so far he 2-2 draw came in a perfect time to alert and to remind the US players that they need to produce at the highest level of their capabilities at ALL TIMES when it comes to competitive matches. Thansk to Altidore the team is still at a good position and unbeaten.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

My mom was saying something about a soccer match at the new cowboy's stadium. I was like, "gee I don't know if I wanna go see any of these teams." Good thing I held out; now I'm off to a Chelsea game in that new stadium end of July (with pretty good seats too!). haha

Interesting, I`ll be in Seattle early July and I`m wondering when I`ll know who`s playing in that 2nd match.
