First off, congrats to the US U-20s for fighting back against a Uruguayan team who has now been added to our shit list. They dove like losers, they started shit after the game like losers, and all in all they were terrible at being losers. Please check Soccer by Ives' blog to see his running commentary and get good information. An own goal and Michael Bradley's 106th minute goal made the difference, propelling the ballsy American squad into the quarterfinals against Austria this Saturday (Austria were 2-1 winners over Gambia).
What in the hell is going on with all these Open Cup upsets!? Yet another MLS team has fallen today. Three overall. Another was pushed to PKs. D.C. fell tonight, 1-0, to the Harrisburg City Islanders (see Team America Spotlight of the Week). Houston and Los Angeles fell Tuesday night and the funny thing is, 2 of the 3 teams are performing exceptionally well in league play (damn, they were the Supporter's Shield and MLS Cup winners of 2006!) Yes, the USOC has very little sway, but it is still an American competition and there is still financial incentive involved. Anyone see the game? Got answers?
Argentina dispatched of Mexico somewhat easily with a sound 3-0 win. This sets us up for Argentina's 'A' Team vs. Brazil's 'B' Team in the Copa America 2007 final.

I think a little run down of the women world cup roster may be in the cards, no?
