I'm thinking I won't be going to South Africa for the next World Cup. We expect a lot of things to be going on in the Steadtecki household by 2010. law school graduation, moving (again), possibly a baby, the 200th anniversary of Mexican independence in Guanajuato (Reserve your hotel room now.).
So it's good that the US is plowing through the Gold Cup series. The Yanquis already knocked out several latino teams, and now face Little America in the semi-finals. I can't help but wonder, as K pointed out, that it seems strange that both countries from el Norte just happened to end up facing each other in the semi-final. It's almost as if the CONCACAF folks don't like the idea of an all-North-American championship. Maybe this was part of NAFTA, like the US-Canadian-Mexican beer specials at Casa Grande.
Anyway, I don't mind so much. If the US beats Canada tonight, and Mexico beats Guadaloupe (seriously?), we can see a rematch of the pre-season opener between the big rivals, all played against the backdrop of an intense national controversy over immigration.
I don't know about you, but plan on grabbing a good table at La Unica on Sunday if all goes well.
It's just too bad we don't already live in Chicago.
