Viva Columbus

While we await the Doofus Overlord's opus on his trip deep into NASCAR country, a brief bit of outrage for you in advance of this evening's US/Mexico hexagonal qualifier.

U.S. defender Matt Besler was given a yellow card in Friday night's loss to Costa Rica, meaning that he's suspended for tonight's match. Skip ahead to the 5:38 mark in the video below to see what Besler did to earn the caution:



Joel Campbell, karma is a bitch. Watch your back.

Tonight's match kicks off at 8:00 from Columbus Crew Stadium. It's televised on ESPN. No excuse for a patriotic bunch like you not to watch it. With a win and a nearly-certain Honduras win or tie against Panama, the U.S. books its ticket to the World Cup.

  5. Or how there is no way to review & undo the suspension due to yellow cards. No way at all. Just won't allow it. Beeotches.

  6. The policy should be that injuries are reviewable and if there is credible evidence that suggests you were faking, the penalty is that you get that part of your body injured for real.

  7. If that were the case, the entire starting 5 for Duke would be more crippled than FDR.
