-The Gold Cup final was way too close yesterday with USA beating Panama on PKs after the match finished 0-0. I must say though, that Panama sure has gotten good. They are no '98 Reggae Boyz (Hooray Beer), but they do have some flair and skill. The biggest thing I noticed about the match was the 2 hour pre-game show that Univision put on. Yes that's right, 2 hours! Take that ESPN. Suck on that Fox Soccer Channel! I know very little Spanish, but the thing was good looking (beyond all the hoochies wearing those skin tight jump suits!). Interviews with Keller, Donovan, Asst Coach Curt Onalfo, & Amada Guevara, all done in Spanish. That's not to mention the live, on the field interviews with Keller and Donovan within moments of the final pk.Gold Cup All-Tournament Team:G: Jaime Penedo - PanamaD: Oguchi Onyewu - USAD: Felipe Baloy - PanamaD: Jorge Samuel Caballeros - HondurasM: DaMarcus Beasley - USAM: Landon Donovan - USAM: Jairo Patino - ColombiaM: Luis Ernest Perez - MexicoF: Luis Tejada - PanamaF: Tressor Moren
