Schedules were announced today for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer. The USMNT will play Belize, Cuba and Costa Rica in Group C.

GROUP A: Mexico, Panama, Canada, Martinique
GROUP B: Honduras, El Salvador, Trinidad & Tobago, Haiti
GROUP C: USA, Costa Rica, Belize, Cuba

The Georgia Dome will be holding two quarterfinal matches, but the chances of the United States playing in them is pretty slim, which is disappointing because I definitely would've been in attendance. The first match will feature the second-place teams in Groups A and B, while she second one will feature the first-place team in Group A against the third-place team from either Group B or C.

Jerome Boateng proud of brother Kevin-Prince

 

Jerome Boateng has praised his half-brother Kevin-Prince for his public stand against racism in football. AC Milan's Kevin-Prince Boateng was racially abused by supporters during a friendly against Pro Patria in January and walked off the pitch. He said he was proud of his sibling's stand against racism, adding: "For me, has been the first footballer who put up some resistance. I have heard [samuel] Eto'o also left the pitch once, but it did not have such an impact. A lot of players should have done that much earlier, setting a visible sign against daily racism in stadiums just like Kevin and his team mates did. It takes a lot of courage to do so. He showed everyone that enough is enough. I don't know if he is a hero. But I am delighted, especially for him. He did not have the best image with the German public."

 

Kevin-Prince Boateng, who was born in Berlin but chose to represent Ghana at international level, was an unpopular figure in Germany after his foul on Michael Ballack in the 2010 FA Cup final ruled the then-Chelsea player out of that summer's World Cup.

 

But Jerome Boateng, who opted to play for Germany, felt the reaction to the incident was unfair. "He did not do that [the foul] on purpose," he said. "That foul made him out of favour with everyone in Germany. But now this - I am proud of him. It could have ended differently."
