More Cuban soccer in the USA


On October 11, the Cuban soccer team will play the U.S. at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. in a 2010 World Cup Qualifier (assuming the US beats Barbados and Cuba beats Antigua and Barbuda). If I can sneak out of work, I will definitely fly down to D.C. and watch the game. I'll probably bring some sort of sign, though I haven't yet decided what I should write on it. It's difficult to piece together my affection for the players but disdain for the regime in a few, catchy words. What would you write?

Prior to that, the U.S. team will play in Havana on September 6.

We like soccer, but we'd LOVE free elections in Cuba!
