By Agence France-Presse, through La Opinion Digital:

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AFP). - - With two goals of its star Landon Donovan, the selection of futbol of the United States folded yesterday in Salt Lake City to its pair of Costa Rica by 3-0, in party of the fourth date of the hexagonal end of the eliminatory ones of the Concacaf for the World-wide one of Germany-2006.

Donovan, that arrived at 22 goals with the selection from the bars and stars, nested in minutes 7 and 63, whereas Brian McBride completed the account with another morning call in the 88.

With this triumph the North Americans arrived at nine points. The hexagonal one grants three you happen to the World-wide one, whereas the quarter fights by a ticket in a repesca with a country of the Asian Confederation.

The United States began to all machine and with a fast blow it released the networks of the arquero Alvaro Mesén thanks to Donovan, that ended from about 30 meters, after a ball rejected by the tica defense.

In that first Costa Rica section as soon as portería of Kasey Keller threatened and his few attacks derived mainly in plays outside place, including which it finished to the bottom of the door norteamerican that she was invalidada.

In the Costa Rica renewal it pressed from a principle and to the nine minutes it was on the brink of madness it ties when Alonso Solis went single by the left and threw front to Keller, but this one could reject to the front and the ball was cleared by the American defender Carlos Bocanegra.

Still the North Americans had not recovered of the scare when Keller had to return to fly by airs to clear, with the end of the fingers, another tico cannon shot.

In his embullo to look for the tie the disciples of the technician Alexander Guimaraes neglected their backs and Donovan returned to them to nail another one banderilla when a ball rejected by Mesén ended, after strong blow on the head of Brian McBride, in minute 63.

Five minutes later Douglas Sequeira nearly he surprises Keller with a grazing firing to the floor, but the doorman showed excellent reflections and contained the ball.

Half-full minute 80 in contrataque Donovan lightning happened to just entered Clint Dempsey, whose right forced the exit of Mesén to clear, but the ball few passages of the door had left small change in zone of anybody, right, by which McBride was limited to push it until the bottom.

Costa Rica played desperate the last minutes and to make matters worse it saw as its mediocampista Douglas Sequeira went away of the right party in minute 90, with a red card sent by the Guatemalan referee Carlos Batres.

You'd think with all the money Keller has made in Europe, he wouldn't be needing to be moonlighting as a doorman, but there it is!

The team now thinks about the USA

With the shadow of the 2-0 loss to Trinidad and Tobago hanging over the team, last Saturday in Puerto España, the Panamanian team returned home yesterday afternoon in just enough time for a brief training session before heading to the USA for Wednesday's crucial encounter.

They returned only yesterday after having spent Sunday in the Trinidadian capital. The flight which was due to take them to Panama, after a brief stop in Miami, had been cancelled.

AN UNKNOWN TEAM

In relation to the T&T defeat that put Panama in last place of the CONCACAF hexagonal for the World Cup in Germany 2006, the coach Jose 'Cheché' Hernandez commented that, "Panama was an unknown team.’’

According to the strategist, the team that played Saturday against Trinidad and Tobago was not even a shadow of the one that showed up against Mexico, and even less than the one that faced the United States in the previous phase.

The lack of offensive clarity, the inadequate handling of the ball and the scarse on-field production of the players were aspects that, according to the coach, caused the misfortune against the Caribbean team.

THERE WILL BE CHANGES

Because of the reality of the complicated situation in which the Panamanian team finds itself and the urgent necessity to add points, Hernandez indicated that he will have to take advantage of the condition of the location tomorrow to post a good result against the Americans.

Hernandez did not deny that changes will be made for the encounter. In fact, one of them will be obligatory in the case of the defender Luis Moreno, suspended due to yellow card accumulation.

He then announced the incorporation of the defender Felipe Baloy, who will take his place, and also the addition of midfielderl Engie Mitre.

"To stay alive we must reverse the situation of the defeat, which was not in our plans,’’ emphasized the Colombian strategist.

As far as the voices of protest from several fanatics and certain sectors of the press who have asked for his dismissal, 'Cheché' Hernandez described the reaction as "something normal."

Yesterday, Hernandez was first in leaving the customs area of the Tocumen airport terminal and minutes later made the players go quickly to the bus without offering many comments.

THE PLAYERS

One of the players who offered the most commentary was Alberto Blanco, who indicated that the team was not happy about the events in Trinidad and Tobago, but it was now necessary to think about winning tomorrow to maintain hope.

The player, who complained about the long and tedious return trip, denied that the team was overconfident before the T&T encounter, adding that the rival had a better home field advantage and was quite disciplined in the tactical approach, which worked in their favor.

In the meantime, goalkeeper Donaldo González revealed that due to the current situation that the team finds itself in there is nothing left but to go for a victory against the United States.

Summarizing the Trinidad game, the 'keeper said that a lack of concentration on the field was the cause of the goals.

"They (the T&T team) surprised to us, since they had a better attitude on the field than we did," González commented.

On the other hand, Nefatlí Diaz limited himself to a few words, saying that there is always revenge in fútbol, and that they hoped to obtain it tomorrow against the United States.

Meanwhile, defender Joel Solanilla described the defeat as something pitiful.

Julio Medina III affirmed that the players were sad, since, "nobody likes to lose,’’ and added that there were still possibilities, since the results that occurred in the other games favored Panama to a certain point.

Forward Luis Tiled also described the defeat as "painful," but he bet that the team will be vindicated against the United States.

Another Spanish language news site is:

And Panama's team website at www.marearoja.com

Don't have time for any full translations but defender Felipe Baloy and holding mid Engin Mitre will be back from a 1-game suspension. But fullback Luis Moreno is now suspended.

Ticket sales were going pretty well but I suspect the result in Trinidad may dampen some local enthusiasm.

Marea Roja means red tide. That site lists Alberto Blanco as now playing for Alania Vladikavkaz in Russia.

Is that *really* what it says? If so, I wonder who the US is going to be playing in Panama?!:D

Whoops!

I forgot that it was a road game for us when doing this translation. I later realized it was in Panama, so I went back and did some editing. But obviously I missed that part.
