I stayed at the Phoenix Youth Hostel:

http://63.70.211.212/cfdocs/hostels.cfm?CITY=Phoenix

It is near the downtown and close to the expressway. The neighborhood could be better, but it is OK during the day. The hostel is very run down but friendly. The helpful master has beat up old furniture set out on the equally beat up lawn. Clean bathrooms.
I am trying to find updated information about the Hong Kong restaurant in Chinatown. I loved this place. It is about 1 mile from the hostel.

Ahh hell (no pun intended), if there's a match in November I can possibly tolerate Phoenix for a few days.

See you at the match today Jeff.

Phoenix in November is nice. I recommend my mother-in-law's place if you can take the junk and the eccentric-ness. Actually, just kidding, I don't even stay at her house when I visit. I stay in a hotel. In a 5 bedroom house, she considers only one room habitable.

Just need to watch out for all of the "blue hairs" on the roads during the winter season down there.

Gotcha, it's great news if it happens for Phoenix and for the USMNT! They need matches like these to try players out, etc.

Big Dog reports there is no match. US and Australia couldn't agree on a date.

Stay tuned . . .
