Gold Cup Doubleheader at Rio Tinto Stadium

Cameron (a friend of ours) invited us to the gold cup at rio tinto.  It was a doubleheader with the first game being the US men's national team reserves vs Cuba national team.  We got there just before halftime and as we were driving up the score was 1-0 for Cuba.  When we walked in everyone started cheering and we soon discovered that Landon Donovan from team USA had scored.  So that left it tied 1-1 at halftime.  A couple minutes later, a field crasher jumped the wall and ran over to our side of the stadium.  Everyone was cheering him on and it was really funny!  Soon after, the security came and got him.  Shortly after the game started up again, corona from team USA ( I don't know his first name) send a dart right into the back of the net. 2-1 for USA.  It went all downhill for Cuba after that.  Chris wondolowski scored (assist from Kyle beckerman from real salt lake) and later scored another.  He also had two more opportunities to score but didn't finish.  Final score 4-1 for USA.  The next game was Costa Rica vs Belize.  It was a very boring game to be honest.  I don't have much to say about it except for that the only goal scored was an own goal in favor of Costa Rica.  I was cheering for Costa Rica because Alvaro saborio from real salt lake was on the team, so I was pretty happy, but didn't care too much for the game overall. Here are some pictures.
