CONCACAF Gold Cup starts to hot up
YOUNG PLAYERS "Usually, when those young players get a chance to play for their national team, they play extremely hard because they want to impress their coach." The heavily-favoured Mexicans, who earned rave reviews after reaching the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup in Germany last month, resume the final phase of World Cup qualifying in August. During the early stages of the Gold Cup, U.S. coach Bruce Arena used 22 members of his 23-man squad. "It's too early to make final conclusions on the newer players," said Arena. "These things take time but this (tournament) is a good chance to evaluate them. There's a transition period for everybody." One relative newcomer to have shone is Jamaica forward Jermaine Hue, who has scored twice for the Reggae Boyz. The semi-finals will be played on Thursday at the Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Giants Stadium also hosts the final on July 24.
