The Gold Cup 2013 started on July 7, 2013. It started with 12 teams: U.S., Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti and Martinique. They started with a rough start, but as the tournament progressed, 4 semifinalists have emerged: Mexico, Panama, USA, and Honduras.
These 4 teams are doing their best with good passes, good strategy, and good players. The favorites for the finals are Panama and Honduras. Both coaches of these awesome teams are trying to do their best to do what the people want. For the Gold Cup, the teams are playing only in US stadiums as opposed to global stadiums.
The reigning champion is Mexico with 2011's winning goal. This year's final is on July 28, and will e either at Soldier Field in Chicago or Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Cali. For this story we interviewed a literature and scrapbooking teacher at Breakthrough Silicon Valley at Hillbrook, Jennifer Cruz. Cruz has a long history with soccer.
"I played soccer for 2 years when I was around 12 years old," said Cruz. "I love watching soccer with my dad; it's like a father and daughter bond."
