As Hurricane Ike approaches Cuba this evening, it has thrown forward a line of rain and drizzle. In the dark and gloom of this misty atmosphere, the United States Men's Soccer Team appeared in Havana for the first time in 60 years.
It was a qualifying game for the 2010 World's Cup tournament. The U.S. won the game 1-0 in a fair and relatively friendly contest.
A few American fans who had finagled their way into Cuba against the laws of the U.S., sat in the stands with their faces covered so they would not be recognized and arrested upon their return to America.

Apparently the US govt has officers (from Customs or Immigration or Homeland Security whatever) in Toronto to catch Americans coming back from Cuba. You would think the govt had better things to spend their money on....
