: U.S. Open Cup Semifinal: Miami v. NY

Wow, what an exciting game! U.S. Open Cup games this year have all gone to the wire, but it seemed like Miami was out for vengeance after missing the playoffs as they came back after the 1-1 tie at the half to quickly go up 3-1. Then New York got a late goal and pummelled the Miami goal for the last ten minutes, but couldn’t quite make it a win. So the underdog Miami goes to their first U.S. Open Cup final. They’ll face Chicago (which beat L.A. with an overtime goal from sub Josh Wolf). Final score: 3-2 Miami.

: Olympic Men: U.S. vs. Czech Republic

Great start for the U.S. Men’s team; they dominated the game and should have won, but nerves and fatigue meant they gave up some goals they shouldn’t and didn’t pick up a winner in the second half. A 2-2 draw, it gives the U.S. a point in the standings, an excellent start from a game the U.S. expected to lose.
