Committed a stupid silly ignorant foul with a minute to go in the corner. Then nope botched another...

Colombia scored the equalizer right at 90' on a free kick that was curved beautifully into the goal. US had played safe for about the last 15' just maintaining possession, but then committed a foul just after 89' that gave the free kick.

What happened to the women's soccer team tonight? Just caught the last minute of stoppage time.

I agree with most of what you have said, Fireman.

There can be fan behavior that takes away from the game. I would be comfortable bringing my 4 year old daughter to a game in the West stands. We don't though. Thankfully, we live where grandparents are on hand. The last time I was in the East stands, it was too rowdy for my wife, let alone my daughter.

I love Zlatan. He is like a living embodiment of a bad soccer guy in a Ben Stiller or Will Ferrell movie.

Hope he comes to MLS one day - Americans will love him or hate him in WWE fashion

When I lived in NOVA, I used to take my truck to A-1 Auto repair off South Van Dorn in Alexandria. Guy who owns it is honest and really fair. My roomate's dad took all their cars there for 20+ years and knew the guy.

I knew Chris back in the day. I remember his straight-on kicking style, that winning kick and the 1-finger salute like it was yesterday.

Coach Dooley was coach while I was in school. The offense was known for tailback off-tackle (see also: Cyrus Lawrence). Three yards and a cloud of dust. The defense really brought it, though. Bruce Smith, Pedro Phillips, Ashley Lee, Robert Brown....some impressive defensive players. In addition to Cyrus Lawrence, Sidney Snell, Mickey Fitzgerald, Steve Casey, and Tony Paige were standouts on offense.

Coach Dooley also had (I seem to recall reading this) a grad student design the current "square root of one" VT logo, and had the old long-necked turkey mascot redesigned into the hokie bird. One thing he did that I wasn't fond of was the abandonment of the turkey call from the stadium. Glad Frank brought that back.

He also brought in Billy Hite as RB coach, which was a big factor in Frank's tenure as well. He brought about the expansion of Lane Stadium, had the first night game in Tech history, the first televised game with LOLUVA. He gave us a lot of the things we love about Tech football.

Thanks Coach.
