Congratulations to our men's national team, their big win last night gives us the inside track to qualify for the final round of qualification for the 2010 World Cup.

Beating Trinidad and Tobago was key because they're probably the toughest team in the group. Our next game is October 11th against a Cuban team we really outplayed earlier, although the 1-0 scoreline doesn't reflect that. A win in that game will all but guarantee us first place in the group and all but guarantee Cuba's elimination -- so it should be a spirited affair at RFK in Washington.
