US Soccer Team Ready To Kick Some Cuban Balls
After squeaking past Guatemala, the US soccer team is back on the road for their second match in their World Cup Qualifying semifinal group on Saturday. And as the AP reports, while the fact that they are playing the 92nd-ranked team in the world should ensure the usual lack of interest from the average sports fan, just who they are traveling to play might be of some interest: Cuba.
Although Cuba pours huge resources into world sports like baseball, track & field, and boxing (and frequently are able to compete with and beat the US), soccer is a different story.
