Report

Republic of Ireland international Robbie Keane played in 3 matches for Los Angeles Galaxy in the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League, one in the Group Stage where he scored two goals to give Galaxy the win at home to CS Cartagines Deportivo of Costa Rica. He did not play any further in the Group Stage as Los Angeles Galaxy qualified for the quarter-Finals with ease, finishing with 9 points from 4 matches, 5 points clear of both CS Cartagines and AD Isidro Metapan of El Salvador.

In the Quarter-Finals LA Galaxy met Mexican team Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente from just South of the border from California in Baja California. Despite winning the first leg 1-0 and 2 goals from Robbie Keane in the return leg in Baja, LA Galaxy succumbed 4-2 to go out 4-3 on aggregate. Robbie played in both matches.

Three Mexican teams reached the Semi-Finals and the dominant country in North, Central American and Caribbean Football won the CONCACAF Champions League Trophy again as expected with Cruz Azul FC of Mexico City defeating Deportivo Toluca FC, from a small distance west of Mexico City, on away goals rule after both matches were drawn. The only non-Mexican team in the Semi-Finals, Liga Deportivo Alajuelense of Costa Rica went out to Deportivo 0-1 and 0-2.

Report

Jamaica defeated Trinidad & Tobago 2-0 in the Final of the Shell Caribbean Cup in Kingston, Jamaica in May 1991. Both countries had automatically qualified for the seven-team Final tournament. Trinidad & Tobago had knocked out Guyana in the Semi-Finals, and Jamaica defeated St. Lucia.

The Qualifying Groups were won by Guyana (3-team South American Coast Group involving Surinam and Aruba); Dominican Republic (Greater Antilles Group involving Haiti and Puerto Rico); Cayman Islands (Leeward Islands Group involving St. Kitts & Nevis and British Virgin Islands); St. Lucia (Windward Islands Group involving Montserrat and Anguilla); Martinique (2-team French Department Group involving French Guiana).

Montserrat’s National Holiday is on St. Patrick’s Day like Ireland and most are descendent from Irish indentured servants and African slaves with even those of African descent speaking Irish at one stage like most on the island at the time (1600s to 1800). Kingston, Jamaica shares a name with Kingstown (Dun Laoghaire) in Ireland.

About the Caribbean Cup

The Shell Caribbean Cup is a Regional Soccer Tournament organised by the Caribbean Football Union. It also doubled as the Qualifying Tournament for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Both were first played for in 1991, although there were previous attempts at creating Regional Tournaments.

Report

Costa Rica emerged as the top Nation in Central American Soccer at the Central American Championship in 1961. Having won all their Qualifying Group Games against Haiti (3-0), Guatemala (4-2) and Panama (6-1) they proceeded to demolish the opposition at the Finals which they hosted, defeaing El Salvador (4-0), Honduras (3-0) and Haiti (8-0). El Salvador finished runners-up, Honduras third and Haiti fourth.

Qualfying Group A featured five teams, topped by Costa Rica, with Haiti also qualifying for the Final round, ahead of Guatemala, Panama and Cuba. Group B winners were El Salvador, who qualified along with Honduras, with Netherlands Antilles in third and Nicaragua in fourth. The tournament was not very competitive, with all matches going to form, and only one draw: Netherlands Antilles 0 Honduras 0.

About the Central American Championship

The Central American Championship is an annual Soccer Tournament featuring the National Teams of the UNCAF Region (Union de Centro-Americo de Futbol). In the early years of the Tournament it also featured Caribbean Nations before they formed their own Caribbean Cup in 1991. It was usually played in two Qualifying Groups before a Final Round in a Host Nation.
