Team USA staying in Aruba because of strained political relationship with Venezuela (never mind)

This is cool that the U.S. is staying here. They just fly to Venezuela for the games. But it would be even better if others had known before. Dutch footballers often spend their vacation in Aruba and it would've been cool (and productive) to see the U.S. practice against the Dutch guys.

In fact, I met two Dutch players from the English Premier League while clubbing a few weeks ago. (Andre Ooijer and Wilfred Bouma).

And also, although they didn't do it this year, there is usually a foot volleyball tournament here in Aruba around the end of June/beginning of July (when there's no World Cup or Euro Cup). Last year world class players like Edwin v/d Sar, Frank & Ronald de Boer, Marc Overmars, Roy Makaay, Bouma, Ooijer, Dirk Kuyt, Denny Landzaat and others where here.


Edit:
Just found out is was inaccurate information They're staying in Maracaibo.

Anyway congrats to the U.S. for winning the Gold Cup though. Although Canadians will not agree with that
