Those late goals to push it from 0-0 to 3-0 make tonight's game way less stressful.

I'm more rooting for Mexico to have to play their way into Copa now

Took my son to a Crew game back in June.  Soccer is the one sport he shows a little interest in.  We had a great time.  I was actually surprised at how much I personally enjoyed it.  The crowd and atmosphere were great.

Spent $100 at the game buying him a team jersey.  Best money I ever spent.  Kid lives in that shirt.  We didn’t get a chance to watch the game yesterday but he was happy they won, and was naturally wearing his jersey yesterday.

Women's soccer.on the global stage has gotten way deeper, very quickly.  USA enjoyed a nice head start, but much like mens basketball, the other countries are catching up, because we have a horrible development system, centered around college sports and shoe driven AAU programs.  Losing to Mexico was recently unthinkable
