Missing a Few

Well, the goodbyes have started. Some of the European-based players - Freddy, Charlie, Jonathan and Sal - said their goodbyes at breakfast and took off this morning to return to their clubs for weekend action.

The U.S. roster will be at 16 for Sunday's Final game. It should be an interesting rematch of Honduras eight days after the U.S. won, 1-0, in the group phase. That was only eight days ago? It feels like an eternity!
