Friendly 2011 Usa Spain

4 June 2011
Gillette Stadium,
Foxborough, Mass


Well, that wasn't a very good day at the office for the United States men's national team. They were without four of their first team locks in the starting lineup - Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley and Carlos Bocanegra - but that's not an excuse for how poorly they performed against Spain on Saturday afternoon. The World Cup champions and No. 1 team in the world showed why they have earned those distinctions, walking out of Gillette Stadium with a 4-0 win.
Santi Cazorla scored a brace in the first half, while Alvaro Negredo added a goal of his own. Spain let off the gas in the second half of the game, though substitute Fernando Torres scored a goal of his own. David Silva was absolutely brilliant in the first half, as he was the primary catalyst for both of Cazorla's goals.The United States team that faces Canada in the Gold Cup on Tuesday will be a much different team than the one who played Spain tonight, but there will be a few players who start in both games. Those players will have to play considerably better on Tuesday than they played tonight for the USMNT to open Gold Cup with a victory.

 This was a great FA cup year. There was lower division interest until the latter stages, moments of sensational individual brilliance, and a classic, albeit brutal, final. Right from the first round, the shocks arrived. Even before the flawed genius of an ageing and alcoholic Jirnmy Greaves arrived, Brentwood showed dial they carried a threat. Their win over Reading was a major surprise, as Reading had half an eye on promotion to Division Two. The West Midlands Regional League doesn't sound terribly glamorous. The reality reflected that feeling; it was an outpost of non-league football, and one of its teams, Tamworth, had done well to even reach the first round. Their opponents, Torquay United, were in the Third Division but possessed no Cup pedigree, having only once ventured beyond the third round, and that had been in 1955. Despite taking the lead. Torquay remained true to form, losing 2-1 to goals from Tamworth's prolific forwards Graham Jessop, a clay-worker, and Ray Holmes, a car plant man. Gillingham showed how to take care of lesser teams in the next round, beating Tamworth 6-0 at a canter. Tamworth have never since made the draw for the Second Round. Pride of place in the third round went to Sheffield United, who hosted eventual Champions Everton. The Toffees boasted the midfield 'holy trinity' of Kendall, Harvey and Ball, who were sent cursing back to Goodison after a 2-1 defeat. The Blades' 'reward' was a tough trip to Derby, where the Rains gave Everton a lesson in professionalism. John O'Hare grabbed a couple in a 3-0 win.
