The Gold Cup "offside" was unfortunate, but it happens a lot. Human error is an understood part of the game, and teams have to be thoughtful of it. The play looked offside at first glance. I thought it was a fair call until they started showing replays... however, that sort of thing happens every week in club competitions.
They will get totalled in Copa though. The US doesn't fare well against the Latin teams away from home... especially with that freaking dream team Argentina is sending.

Ghana = one of the best groups of young talent in the world right now. That was a burtal group, plenty of great players.
