Up for a road trip? Maybe to see the U.S. and Mexico national teams? Catch a doubleheader: CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals, Wednesday, June 22, at Houston’s Reli­ant Stadium. Likely Mexico vs. Costa Rica in the first game, and perhaps USA vs. Panama in the second (6 & 9pm, $30, Ticketmaster; both games also on FSC and Univision). First the U.S. would have to get past undefeated Jamaica in the quarterfinals (Sunday, June 19, 2pm; FSC, Univision). The Yanks have been underwhelming so far, losing their first group round game ever and finishing second in the group to Panama.

What became of the Austin Aztex? See for yourself Saturday, June 18, 6:30pm, as Orlando City hosts Wilmington in Fox Soccer Channel’s USL game of the week.

And a reminder for wayward players who have lost their teams: There are friendly coed games happening all over town; Austin Pick-up Soccer has a listserv (groups.google.com/group/pick-up-soccer-atx), Facebook page (www.facebook.com/AustinPickupSoccer), and Twitter account (@pickupsocceratx).
