Well, as of now I am thinking about going to Boston. It will all depend on my job, but I really want to try to go. Hopefully the Canadian dollar continues to get stronger... Interesting to see Mexico and Brazil in the same group. I suppose CONCACAF wants to make sure Brazil and Mexico play at least once in Mexico City... Cuba could be in our group and I believe they play a two game series against Jamaica soon. I just checked and they play each other today in Havana and on Thursday in Kingston.
Why is the Canada-Costa Rica match so early in the day? I guess it will help Canada for its second match, which is only two days later, lets hope its not too humid at 1pm on the afternoon of July the 12th.
On July 12th I thought the Revolution were hosting the Metrostars at 4 PM (15:00). I thought the US game was part of a doubleheader, not a tripleheader.
Part of a tripleheader, it would appear. I'm guessing one ticket gets you 3 matches - though I do wonder how many US fans will arrive early enough to catch Canada-Costa Rica.
I started a yahoo e-mail group for Canadian fans interested in going to Boston. Subscribe: goldcup2003-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Post message: goldcup2003@yahoogroups.com
