Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images(PORTLAND, Ore.) — Chirs Wondolowski scored three goals in the first-half, and Landon Donovan had a goal and two assists as the U.S. men’s national soccer team slammed Belize 6-1, in the opening round of the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Tuesday night.

Donovan, who was playing in his second game for the national team since his five-month break, is now the first player to have 50 goals and 50 assists for the U.S. national team.
The Americans started the scoring quick when Wondolowski scored on a rebound in the 12th minute.
Wondolowski scored his second goal in the 36th minute to make it 2-0, but Belize’s Ian Gaynair scored on a header two minutes later to tighten up the contest.
After that, it was all U.S.A.
