drove with a friend from Madison to Detroit on Tuesday for opening round games of the Gold Cup. Contemplated going to a few closer matches, but decided we wanted to see the USMNT more. Checked out some of the pre-game festivities and had a few pints at Cheli's place a few blocks away. Got there early for the Panama v. Guadalupe match, but not nearly as entertaining.
