Great question, Leonardo. As you all know, training camp opens today for the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup, two days after the U.S. took second place in the FIFA Confederations Cup after five games in 13 days. So what was on tap for the coaches in between? Here's a sample of one itinerary:
June 29
1 a.m. - team arrives back at hotel following Confederations Cup final
7 a.m. - breakfast and meeting
9 a.m. - depart for site inspection of base camp for 2010 FIFA World Cup (if U.S. qualifies)
12 p.m. - lunch and meeting
3 p.m. - personal bags brought to lobby for departure for airport
8:30 p.m. - depart hotel for airport
11:30 p.m. - flight from Johannesburg to Amsterdam (11 hours, 10 minutes)
June 30
10:40 a.m. - arrival into Amsterdam
1:25 p.m. - flight from Amsterdam to Los Angeles International (10 hours, 55 minutes)
3:20 p.m (PT) - arrival into LAX (time difference - minus 9 hours)
5:30 p.m. - flight from LAX to Seattle (2 hours, 33 minutes)
8:03 p.m. - arrival into Seattle
9 p.m. - dinner and meeting
We're no mathematicians, but that seems like a really long day.
Oh, and July 1 begins with breakfast at 8 a.m. and training at 10 a.m.

Question: can we get a comment on why Francisco Torres was left off the Gold Cup roster? Was club commitments? A rumored injury? Poor form while in SA? Just curious.
well even if they havnt slept they should be happy that mikey and los made a top 10 most attractive list from the confed cup.

So if I make a beeline for LAX I might catch the coaches (and players?) as they exit the terminal?
There's a lot of Jose Torres questions I want answers.
Nice glamor shot, Carlos.
I just want to see jose Torres play against Mexico in August, I think that would be pretty cool.
