Historical challenge to Cuba The U.S. sull'Isla 60 years after

Tomorrow is planning a consignment of qualification to the World 2010 between the National stars and stripes and, indeed, the Caribbean. The federal president Gulati: "It 'a situation unique in history. The objective, however, is bring home the three points"

MILAN, September 5, 2008 - Sessantuno years. Many have passed since the last time in which a U.S. soccer team has set foot on the island of Cuba. A life in practice. Tomorrow, however, the "curse" break. A sign of the times. Already, plans because there is a lot of ball between the National largest in the U.S. and indeed the Caribbean. In prize, three points in the qualification round at the World Cup of 2010.

THE FORMER - As early as 1991 a U.S. team was in Cuba. But it was dell'Under 21; the occasion, the Pan American Games. A drop in the ocean, however, thinking that the U.S. embargo still resists the island. At 20 local time, tomorrow touches to the "biggest". A challenge apparently without history, given the tradition of Team USA, and level semi-amateur, against the Cubans. The U.S. boys start today from Miami, where they have been in retreat for a week, with destination Havana.

IS AND ESCAPE - They will have little time, however, to make tourists. But the chairman of the U.S. Federation, Sunil Gulati, said he was glad for this opening: "It 'a situation unique in history. The objective, however, is bring home the three points - told the NY Times -. If the boys are satisfied with the program? They know very well that there is the relationship with Cuba. I do not think you lose much. " Training, match, and immediately return home. As is the practice, agree, but after sessantuno years, perhaps we could do something more.
