FanHouse Stuart Holden

As we hit the semifinals of the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the U.S. lineup continues to resemble a revolving door. Players are in for a game, then scuffling back across the Atlantic to join their club teams.

Take defender Michael Parkhurst for example. The former MLS Rookie of the Year was with the U.S. for its group stage matches, then flew to Denmark to be with his club team (FC Nordsjaelland) and missed the U.S. 2-1 semifinal win over Panama on Saturday. Now he's back in the fold as the U.S. looks to book its place in the final with its third match since June against Honduras Thursday night at Solider Field in Chicago.

With two wins already in the books during the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup, for all intents and purposes there wasn't a whole lot riding for the U.S. in their final Group B match Saturday night in Foxborough, Mass., against Haiti.

For about 92 minutes, though, it looked like the U.S. might have some major egg on its face. But with about a minute left, Stuart Holden cracked a wonder strike from outside the penalty area into the upper right corner of the net to save the U.S. some major embarrassment and salvage a 2-2 draw, winning the Group in the process. It was his second goal in as many games during the tournament, which are also his only two full senior level international appearances.
