World Cup Qualifying Roundup: U.S., Mexico, England, Croatia Win
A Clint Dempsey goal was enough for the U.S. to beat Cuba 1-0 Saturday, while Mexico beat Jamaica, 3-0.
David Beckham started on the bench for England in the win over Andorra and Croatia downed Kazakhstan, 3-0.
Up next for Mexico Wednesday: a likely dispirited Canada.
The U.S. takes on Trinidad & Tobago, which moved into second place in the group with a 1-1 draw with Guatemala.

I have seen some of the qualifying matches.
What did you think about the Argentina-Paraguay Game?
Argentina got lucky.
Nick replies: Didn't see it (almost OD'd on soccer this weekend though). :)
