My caps

Since I'm going to the US' Gold Cup Final tomorrow at the Rose Bowl, I decided to list the US matches I've been to.  (Below is a re-post from Aug 2009).  Its about time I'm going to see US v Mexico.

June 15
US 8 - Barbados 0, HDC
(Clint Dempsey 1', 63'; Michael Bradley 12'; Brian Ching 20', 89'; Landon Donovan 59'; Eddie Johnson 82'; Own Goal 86') - My first World Cup qualifier.


So I've seen 11 games in all, 28 US goals (including 2 own goals).

Clint Dempsey scored the most for me. 6 goals in big games like Ghana in WC '06, Guatemala in Gold Cup '07, and Brazil '07. Taylor Twellman scored the next most with 4 goals but 3 were in the same game against a terrible Norway squad. Landon Donovan surprisingly only had 3 and that included 2 PKs!
