Five out of Five

The United States of America national football team won again.

The win against Honduras makes it 5 wins out of 5 matches played. (And they also won 4 of those 5 by more than one goal difference.)

Jurgen Klinsmann is doing good things with this team.

They're scoring a lot of goals, too: 19 already, before the final.

Honduras was not the easiest team to defeat, either. Let's remember that, in World Cup qualifying, Honduras inflicted the only defeat USA suffered thus far in the group-of-six final round-robin.

Landon Donovan got two goals, on the night of his 150th cap, which puts him right up there with Chris Wondolowski; both strikers have scored five.

The result is thoroughly deserved, too. I'm sure most people wouldn't argue.

Also, another plus for United States in this competition is the way in which they respond to surprise conceded goals. (And they've let in at least one goal in every match, except for the Costa Rica one.) They always score again.
Who knows what could have happened if they had not made it 3-1 right after the Hondurans pulled one back?

So, The United States is the clear favourite for the final. But Panama should be a fine opponent, especially now that they can almost touch the trophy.
