GOLD CUP TODAY

Share

Guatemala vs. El Salvador, noon;

U.S. vs. Trinidad and Tobago, 2 p.m.

Site -- Home Depot Center.

TV -- FSC, Telefutura (Spanish).

Update -- Guatemala, after losing, 1-0, to the U.S. on Thursday night, needs at least a tie today to avoid being knocked out of the 12-nation tournament, whose winner qualifies for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa. Victories by El Salvador, which defeated Trinidad and Tobago, 2-1, on Thursday, and by the U.S. would clinch both teams spots in the quarterfinals. Bob Bradley, the U.S. coach, is expected to make several changes in his lineup, with forwards Eddie Johnson and Brian Ching probably starting in place of Taylor Twellman and Clint Dempsey. In addition, veteran goalkeeper Kasey Keller is expected to make his 98th appearance for the national team. Central defender Oguchi Onyewu is suspended, and Jay DeMerit or Michael Parkhurst could start in his place.

Tickets -- Starting at $30; TicketMaster or at the Home Depot Center box office.
