United States 1-0 Panama

atch United States vs Panama 1-0 higjlights I'm tempted to call this USA U-23 team "Freddy and the Wonders" -- as in, "Wonder where the goals are going to come from."
This time, it came from a penalty on Jozy Altidore, who was brought down by Panama goalkeeper Jose Calderon in the box. Freddy Adu converted the penalty for the only score of the game, but it was enough to give the USA the 1-0 win and all but clinch a spot in the copa oro Live stream's Pre-Olympic Tournament semifinals.

The Americans kept possession of the ball most of the match, with the Panamanians sitting back and waiting to launch swift counterattacks. Adu and Stuart Holden gave the USA the best opportunities to score, but their usa 1-0 Panama the box came up empty.
Altidore, meanwhile, was a handful for the Panama defense, but he often looked frustrated by his teammates' inability to get him the ball. Perhaps he needs a strike partner up front. He seems to play better in the New York Red Bulls' 4-4-2 than as the lone striker in Peter Nowak's 4-2-3-1 formation.

Regardless, the USA is now in 2nd place in Group A, three points ahead of Cuba, and needs only a draw against Honduras on Saturday to clinch a semifinal spot. A win against Honduras would put the USA atop Group A. How copa oro  2011 finalLive that will be may depend on tonight's Group B match between Mexico and Guatemala.
In the meantime, can we get someone to tell Fox Soccer Channel's Christian Miles that it's "Freddy ADU" and Maurice EDU?" CONCACAF Gold Cup 2011 final, he can't seem to distinguish between the two.
