Belize Jaguars at Concacaf Copa Oro

So last night our own Belize team, nicknamed, the "Jaguars," played non other than the U.S. at their world debut in the Concacaf Copa Oro or "Gold Cup." Needless to say they were smashed 6-1 by the U.S. Team but what was most noteworthy was not the loss but the presence itself. The Belize team earned its rightful place to play in the competition by beating both Honduras and Guatemala. Also inspiring is the fact that the Belizeans were able to score a goal at all against a seasoned team like to U.S. I am reminded of the game between Spain and Tahiti at last month's Confederations Cup in which Spain, the currently reigning World Cup Champions, demolished Tahiti 10-0. Of course the U.S. could have equally shamed the tiny nation of Belize accordingly but a lone goal on the part of the Belize team against a super power like the U.S. speaks volumes of our tenacity and perseverance and scores major points on the world stage. Belize plays their fellow Central American nation of Costa Rica on 7/13, at 5pm.
Go Belize!

So cool to see this I HAD to take a picture of the TV screen!
