  Its amazing how far Gus Johnson has come in, what, about a year?
  
  Love listening to him announce soccer.

  Great sub!! Goal!
• Laley23

  

  What a decoy from Landon!!!! lol
  
  Goal for Brek Shea. 1-0 USA!

  Shea!!!
• Iliketurtles

  

  Yeah Shea!!!
• Laley23

  

  I also really hope Landon doesnt go all crazy and retire again lol. USA really is a different team with him in the line-up. The World Cup squad will be that much better with him around, especially on set pieces. One of the best in the world at set piece delivery imo.

  Gold Cup champs!

  Awesome! Now we just have to win 2015 edition to head to the 2017 Confed Cup! Even if we dont win...we have guaranteed a 1 game playoff to advance versus the 2015 winner.
• Laley23

  

  We should also move up to about 18th in the World Rankings (10 spots up in 2 months!!!) and leapfrog Mexico who is just ahead of us right now. Good days to be an American soccer fan. Just keep on winning!
  
  EDIT: The 4 spot jump to 18 is just based on current points of other teams, but our updated points. I have no clue what everyone else has done this month, so someone may jump us or fall and allow us to jump them. But as they stand now, we would move up 4 more spots.

  I think we're gonna be 16th Laley.

  How did you figure that?? With the win today, we should have 960.
  
  Russia, Switerland and England...to my knowledge...didnt play any game this month. So their points remain the same. That puts us at 18.

  Awesome to win..and I'm definitely glad I went.
  
  But holy shit was that a boring game lol
• sportchampps

  I read that in an ESPN article Laley but who knows....
• sportchampps

  It also said England was one place ahead of us if that helps

  I mean, the next rankings arent out till August 8th I think.
  
  But right now, England is 15th. We are 22nd.

  We'll have 960 points, which should slot us 18th. None of the European or South American teams had games this month, meaning they'll all stay the same, Mexico will fall (but we would pass them even if they didn't lose any points) and Ivory Coast will fall to 962 points after losing to Nigeria and remain ahead of us.

  I imagine it could deal with the All Star game in the future. I know they've been trying to get it. It's All Star week, so why not?
  
  But, the "announcement" includes the ownership group, so maybe it's about new ownership?
  
  Last guesses are it is about sacking McCullers, new stadium or renovations, and let's just say a new DP for fun.
  
  
  
  
  EDIT: Rumor could be a stadium sponsor...
• Midstate01

  

  My guess was something stadium wise. But it was just purely a guess
• ohiobucks1

  

  Think it's a stadium sponsorship
