Women's Gold Cup Day 4 was another one filled with excitement. Our Group A Semifinalists have been decided.Hello everyone! Hope you had a Happy Halloween! Gold Cup Day 4 is now set and done, so its time to discuss the results!
Canada vs. Guyana- This match was a total demolition job. Canada thrashed Guyana 8-0, with goals from Sinclair (4), Filigno (2), Julien, and Lang. With this win, the Canadians advance to the Semifinals. I had planned on watching this game, but ended up watching some dumb horror movie that was a total waste of time. I think I might have lost a few brain cells. Anyway, I seriously regretted missing a Gold Cup game, let alone a high-scoring one.
Mexico vs. Trinidad and Tobago-Also missed this one due to a crappy movie. Mexico won 2-0 with goals from Dominguez and Lopez, and will be heading to the Semifinals. Have to give credit to Trinidad and Tobago though. They have only conceded 3 goals. Much better than how the other lower ranked teams have been faring.
The moral of the story is that its not the best idea to exchange a Women's soccer game, let alone a WWCQ Gold Cup game, for a stupid horror movie, because its not a fair trade! Plus, you'll end up regretting it.
Race for the Golden Boot- There's quite a close and intense competition running for the Golden Boot. With the most goals right now are Wambach and Dominguez with 5, followed by Sinclair and A-Rod with 4.
So, we have our 4 Semifinalists: USA, Costa Rica, Canada, and Mexico. The final matches within each group will feature both its top teams battling each other for 1st place. The placement of each team within their own group will determine who their opponent will be in the Semis.
Tomorrow, (today really...you know the deal) Haiti will play Guatemala for 3rd place in Group B, while the USA and Costa Rica will battle for 1st place in Group B. The matches begin at 7pm ET and 9:30pm ET respectively, but check an hour earlier. Better safe than sorry!
Catch you tomorrow!
