STARTERS
As you would expect the Gold Cup final is sold out at over 91,000 for Saturday's huge USA-Mexico showdown.
dN
Huge congrats goes out to Santos for winning the South American - Copa Libertadores - championship last night.
THE FIFA SCANDAL STORY NEVER ENDS
Owen Gibson of the Guardian gives us more on the leaked FIFA ethics report that damned Jack Warner into resigning.
Marina Hyde of the Guardian reminds us that just because Jack Warner is gone there is still plenty of rotten meat inside FIFA.
TEAM USA
Gold Cup
There I was sitting at my fave soccer bar The Sweetwater watching the USA battle Panama when I was blown away by the rapture that followed the entrance of Freddy Adu on to the field. The love for this guy no matter how many failures he has is very surprising. He is still seen as the savior. Wow. And those folks got what they wanted when the lil Baby Jesus made that long pass to the Baby Jesus who crossed the ball to the back post for the Anti-Christ to finish. Divine indeed.
Surreal moment #2: The USA & Mexico shared a chartered flight from Houston to Los Angeles today. They SHARED the plane!
Jozy Altidore's hamstring injury will knock him out of action for 4-6 weeks. That is not good for a player who is looking for a new team.

COPA LIBERTADORES
Final
Santos are the Copa Libertadores winners!
Pele was parading around on the field after the game celebrating with his nearly life long team.
They last won the CL in 1962 & 63 when Pele was the undisputed leader.
This title was won with that little 98 lbs kid with the raccoon glued to top of his head - Neymar - as their leader.
Matches & Scores:
2nd Leg (with 1st Leg scores included)
-Wed Jun 22
Santos 2-1 Penarol - San wins 2-1 on aggregate - San goals by Neymar & Danilo. Pen goal by Durval(OG).
After the game ended we saw what unfortunately has become a regular occurrence, the two teams slugging & kicking it out in a ridiculous brawl. Pathetic.
OOF
Two MLS games were played last night and zero goals were scored.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
The Boston Herald picks up on the story of the conflict that has arisen between New England Revolution supporters and ownership.
-There is a huge bit of contradiction in this article - the police say people were arrested for being drunk and definitely NOT for disapproved language, but the team itself posted a note the other day saying that security was called in because of language usage. Which one is it?
The handling of this situation just gets worse and worse.
Still nothing addressing any part of the situation on the team's website or Twitter feed.
Their next two home games are a friendly on Jul 13 v Manchester United and a league match on Jul 17 v Philadelphia.

"Bonus points if you can tell me who the person is at the beginning of the clip." It's Kicking and Screening's not-so-ginger Lalas, Greg.
Revs should change the changt from YSA to "You suck Bilello."
Or "You suck Kraft-hole?"
It is my understanding that the "b" sample for the Mexican players came back as negative.
In the past, under WADA charter, a negative 'b' sample constitutes a negative test. This would clear way for the players to be replaced mid-tournament as their removal from the game was precautionary.
Just my $.02
yes SR you would logically think that is the way it was done
buts its concacaf so it was not
they were given a second test and they passed
the b sample was not tested
its all b.s.
