STARTERS It was a rare double for me last night as both my Minnesota Stars won and the USA won. -Minnesota ended a 9 game streak without a win, and clinched a playoff spot in a 4-0 rout of Puerto Rico.

Mexico clinched their spot on the CONCACAF Hexagonal for World Cup qualifying with their 4th win in as many games.
