The U.S. Men's National Team continued their domination of Mexico with a sterling, come-from-behind 2-1 masterpiece to claim their fourth all-time CONCACAF Gold Cup championship.

Columbian U-20 International Harold Urquijo was instrumental in leading Crystal Palace USA to a 2-0 halftime lead. The good news is that Crystal Palace (3-4-3) extended their undefeated run to six. The bad news is that for the second time this season the Cincinnati Kings (2-6-4) capitalized on a late goal against the run of play to snatch points away from Palace.
Hundreds of kids and parents gathered at Ben Lomond Park near Manassas on Saturday for the Kohl's American Cup/Soccer Quest 4 v. 4 Festival. Soccer balls flew through the air as players, their siblings and parents participated in the various events and activities at the all-day event.

Have you seen Benny Feilhaber's goal against Mexico from Sunday? OMG, it's a thing of beauty!
Just some more stats on the USA v Mexico rivalry
Shut out streak by the Piranhas sets PDL record. After exhaustive research of the USL archives, it has been determined that the Hampton Roads Piranhas 5-0 victory over the Northern Virginia Royals Saturday set a league record for consecutive shutouts in the Premier Development League at 10. With three more shutouts this season, they'll have the record for most in a season. Is this team playing in the wrong division? USL2 anyone? Beuhler?
