Chile and Argentina seems like they are playing at a higher level. Fast and getting after it.

Sunil Gulati hinted that a loss tonight might get Klinzy fired.


With that in mind, vamos los ticos?

I told my ma, a big soccer fan, that you might be disappointed in tonight's result.

Costa Rica playing that game in godawful Orlando on Sunday could not have helped their chances.

Looks like upper deck at soldiers field mostly empty. Stupid [expletive] Chicago

It would've helped attendance if upper deck tickets weren't $90 dollars. That was in Orlando. Probably more for the US and in Chicago.


I wasn't disappointed in the game. There's no ridding ourselves of Klinzy before '18 so they might as well win. Plus I don't know how many more games like that Clint Dempsey has left and I'm going to enjoy them while I can.

I looked into tickets in Chicago. I don't remember exactly what they were, but it would have been at least $300 just to get me and 2 kids into nosebleed seats. Yeah, I want to be there for the experience and atmosphere, but that's way too much for me.

I'll be in France during Euro 2016. Might look for some reasonably priced tix.

How do kids from Hawaii get to be world class soccer players? Ching was from Haleiva, FFS. There's nothing up there but shave ice, sea turtles and kitschy, wildly expensive art. But 17 goals between him and Wood, that's got to be high on the list of USMNT goals by state.

Don't forget Natasha Kai and the LEGEND, Zach Scott.

How has KC surpassed StL as a soccer town?
