USA Rolls, Honduras Squeaks By

The US had an easy win in their first match against Grenada 4-0. The US played some good attacking football, against an outmatched side. Adu's goal on the sixth minute put the US on its way. The game really could have been a lot worse, but due to some poor finishing and good goalkeeping Desmond Noel prevented it from being worse. The US will face a more difficult match next against Honduras.

Honduras struggled throughout the match against a spirited Hatitian side. Honduras finally got the breathrough on the 76th minute on a goal by Carlo Costly. Costly has been impressive for Honduras as the Mexicans know well. The two favorites from this group are now in the driver seat to advance to the quarterfinals.
