CONCACAF Olympic qualifying is just days away and AWK has got you covered. We’ll have a man on the ground throughout the duration of the tournament.

Gavin Day has done freelance work for The Canadian Press, CONCACAF, Major League Soccer and Red Nation Online. We’re excited to announce he will be providing both written and video coverage.

Yesterday Gavin caught up with Becky Sauerbrunn, Sydney Leroux, Pia Sundhage, and Abby Wambach. You can watch both videos below.

As a reminder, Stephanie Cox and Jillian Loyden were the two players dropped from the United States’ World Cup roster this summer. Sydney Leroux was added to the mix. The USWNT will take on Group B opponents the Dominican Republic on Friday, Guatemala on Sunday, and Mexico on Tuesday. Group A is comprised of hosts Canada, Haiti, Costa Rica, and Cuba. The semifinals will be held on Friday, January 27 and the final will occur on Sunday, January 29.

The matches will be broadcast on the Universal Sports Network and Telemundo. CONCACAF will also be streaming the matches free of charge, which brings one back to the play-by-play calling from the 2011 CONCACAF World Cup qualifying tournament (‘Little bit’, ‘Sour brown’, ‘Gollllll de Alex Morgan!’). Hopefully the commentary will be just as memorable this time around. Register at the CONCACAF website here.

And of course, I’d be remiss not to mention the latest turn in the WPS/Dan Borislow narrative. This morning Beau Dure and @BuyMyShirts reported that several USWNT stars (Abby Wambach, Hope Solo, Christie Rampone, Megan Rapinoe) are planning to suit up for magicJack once more. The team will play seven exhibition games in 2012 and perhaps 2013.

We’ll see if this a component of a compromise that ultimately sees the adjournment of Borislow’s lawsuit against the league.
