3/26/'11	3/26/'11: USA 1 - Argentina 1 Friendly. Meadowlands, NJ 80,000 people in the New Meadowlands Stadium. Great crowd! Surprisingly strong showing of US fans. We played on our heels the whole first half and gave up a 40th minute goal. However, the US came back much stronger in the second half, scoring the equalizer.
6/4/'11-Hall	Bob Gansler, my high school coach, gets inducted into US Soccer Hall Of Fame!
6/4/'11	6/4/'11: USA 0 - Spain 4 Friendly. Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA 64,000+ fans, mostly for Spain. World Cup-like atmosphere. Strong showing of US fans. We did not start our A-team and fell into a 0-3 hole at half. Bringing on some starters for second half improved our play. But this was a friendly - not about the result. Gold Cup starts in 3 days!.
6/7/'11	6/7/'11: USA 2 - Canada 0 2011 Gold Cup, qualifying round. Ford Field, Detroit, MI Nate and I drove round trip - Chicago to Detroit for the first game of the 2011 Gold Cup. An easy 4+ hour drive. Met with Bob. Watched Panama beat Guadeloupe. Then USA soundly beat Canada Two Nil. After the game we were back on the road to Chicago. Asleep in Nate's condo by 2:30am.
6/25/'11	6/25/'11: USA 2 - Mexico 4 2011 Gold Cup Final. Rose Bowl, 93,000+ fans 26 hours in LA. Awesome trip, despite final score. Helped Bob with starting lineup! Drove up Pacific Coast Highway to Mur's house. Sushi dinner in Old Pasadena. 93,000 fans in the Rose Bowl. Atmosphere much like the World Cup games. Unfortunately, there were 80,000+ Mexican fans. Great job Bob, but we came up short against a strong Mexico side.
