- It is the first time the U.S. had four different scorers in a Gold Cup match
- All four goalscorers were part of the 2008 Olympic Team
- The 4-0 win marked the second highest margin of victory in team history in the Gold Cup, matching two identical scorelines against El Salvador in 2002 and 2007
- Robbie Rogers became the first U.S. player to record multiple assists and also score a goal since Chris Klein did it in a 4-0 win against Guatemala on Feb. 19, 2006
- If you add up the jersey numbers of the first three goalscorers (19+10+7) and divide by the fourth (9) you get 4
And looking 'fourward':
- The match against Honduras will be the fourth meeting between the teams in Gold Cup history, the U.S. holding a 2-0-1 advantage
- There are now four remaining players on the roster in search of their first cap: Colin Clark, Sam Cronin, Jay Heaps, and Luis Robles
- The U.S. converted four penalties to defeat Honduras in the inaugural Gold Cup final in 1991

Wow--these are pretty impressive!
No more to add, but the one about the jersey numbers is hilarious. Sounds like someone around there has too much time on their hands... :)
Gooch to AC Milan!
Who came up with the last one???
