It's Gold Cup Day!

Wow, this whole Gold Cup thing really snuck up on us, huh? The first set of matches in Group A are set to kickoff tonight from Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. Costa Rica take on Cuba beginning at 5 pm CT, followed by--let's face it--tournament favorites Mexico and El Salvador at 7 pm. You can watch the match live on Univision, and CONCACAF will also be streaming the matches live for free.

You could see a few MLSers in action tonight, as well. RSL striker Alvaro Saborio may start up top for Los Ticos, Steve Purdy and Arturo Alvarez look set to feature for El Salvador and Rafa Marquez will most likely slot in at one of the centerback positions for Mexico.

The group stage will continue over the next nine days until June 14th, when Group C concludes at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park right here in KC. Will you be there?
