    I couldn't agree more. Even so, Red Bull New York would be wise to pay whatever it takes to buy the New York Cosmos trademark and rebrand. Which is just another way of saying that, as pathetic as the Cosmos scam has become, I think that the Red Bull advertising scam is even worse.

    I didnt google to verify this but i heard on US of S, that Red Bulls fans were going to charge supporters a very low price (or make it free) for US open cup games at RBA.


    Then the draw came and they drew New England. They decided to move the game to a school, so now supporters will pay.

    France vs Mali on FS2. France has started all of their players in at least one game in group stage. Mali has gone consistently with their best 11. And one of them just picked up his second yellow card and will be out for their next game.

    France has 6 points, and Mali 4 points. Mali must win this game in order to win the group. The group winner here plays the USA on Tuesday, June 4th

    3-1 FRA in the 90' France's GK just knocked over one of his defenders at the top of the box who just lay on the pitch until a Mali player helped him up. By grabbing him around the waist and picking him up. ArgyBargy ensued.

    Thx,

    Jay!

    Believe it was “free USOC tickets for all games at RBA with a season ticket. “

    Then they decided to play elsewhere and charge $10/head.

    In the 5th minute of 4 announced, Mali claw one back. 3-2 and it looks like they play on. Shenanagins.

    And it's over. France it is.

    Thx,

    This CL final is reminding me why I don't watch Premier League. YAWN.

    Incorrect. Lucchese have one more playout round to go through, vs Bisceglie, a team from the C group of serie C (the southern division). They just played the first game - in Lucca - and won 1-0. Next saturday is the return match (in Bisceglie)

    It wasn't pretty, but if you did watch the Premier League, you'd know that this was atypical for both clubs.

    Let's say that it was an awful game, but I recognize your point, it was atypical. It's just that between Premier League and me something has never clicked. I recognize it's a really good league, just ain't my cup of tea.

    This was typical of semifinal and final games in all tournaments/playoffs of every sport. Regular season and early on in tourneys, you play to win. In the finals, you play not to lose. At least Salah got the winning goal. A year after he got mugged by Sergio Ramos.

    Not originally scheduled for Fox Sports 2, but USA vs France in U20 World Cup is on right now. USA with a nice goal from Soto (Hannover) (again) from a great assist by Ledezma (PSV), in for Mendez (Freiburg) who is sitting out due to 2nd Yellow Card in first four games.

    It looks like Pomykal (of Dallas) has slid over to take the Center Mid spot normally filled by Chris Durkin, who is also out on his second Yellow.

    Left Outside Def for USA got burned down the side. A mess in front of the USA goal, and France scores again.

    He is having himself a tournament.

    Its ended 3-2. Good resolve from the boys.

    Soto keeps on balling. The midfield 3 were good. The defense wasnt as bad as the score suggest.
