PORTLAND, Ore. Willie Cauley-Stein Jersey . -- Maybe next time theyll spell Chris Wondolowskis name right. The striker scored a first-half hat trick in a 6-1 victory for the U.S. mens national team over Belize in the opening round of the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Tuesday night.

Belize scored on a penalty kick two minutes later when Elroy Smith fed Ian Gaynair for the header to beat U.S. goalkeeper Nick Rimando. But Belize, a team made up of a mix of amateur and professional players, lost steam after the goal, coach Andrew Mork said. "It didnt last long enough," Mork said. "And that really turned the game around for us." Wondolowski, whose jersey read "Wondowlowski" added a third goal in the 40th minute. The United States took a 4-1 lead in the 58th minute when Stuart Holden scored with an assist from Donovan, giving him 50 for his career. Donovan got another when he passed to Michael Orozco for a header in the 72nd minute to make it 5-0. He got a goal -- the 52nd of his career -- with a penalty kick in the 76th minute. "The crowd was great, the energy was great, I thought we started really well," Donovan said. "A little disappointed to give up a goal, but I think it was a great night for us, a great night for the fans and a good start for the tournament."
