They should give an annual "best dirty play" award in soccer.

How is that even legal? The ref was right there, play was stopped, cameras caught close ups.

It's not, but if the ref didn't see it then it didn't happen.

Didn't make the Olympics.
The United States failed to qualify for consecutive Olympic men's soccer tournaments for the first time in a half century...

Watched - the U23 Colombian team they played against was fucking huge. Their back 4 looked like NFL linebackers compared to most of the US team - and totally outclassed us. The talent pipeline not looking too hot.

First game of the Gold Cup today. USA vs Colombia in Santa Clara.

And WE ARE GOING. Last night I pulled the trigger on tickets and a ride on a "party" bus from downtown SF to the stadium and back. Apparently party buses is a catch all term for a bus you are allowed to drink on.

Some have shitty variations where they aren't gasoline-powered but have pedals for the drunks to pump. I'm not joking. And they aren't so much a "bus" as they are an elongated bar surface with chairs that move very slowly.
