Has he even owned this Serie A team a week yet? NY media mogul Rocco B Commisso now has his new team in this most prestigous summer tourney replacing rival Roma, who had to withdraw due to UEFA Europa League Qualifier commitments. The games for Fiorentina will be July 16 V Chivas at SeatGeek Stadium, IL, then on to Arsenal July 20 in NC at Bank of America Stadium, then closing it out July 24 v Benfica in Red Bull Arena, so close to the home of both his company Mediacom and his family, a thrill I am sure for Rocco.

The c's ceretainly have it in this headline as there is a USL team set to play in NYC. For half a dozen games, NCFC has not lost, NYCFC also had been on a run of no losses as well, I am so not hoping for a tie. This 4th round game starts at 7 in Belson Stadium, I am hoping to see Danny Bedoya play at his previous home field. Ex USMNT head Dave Sarachan has his charges in 6th place of the USL East conf. having just handed the undefeated Rowdies their inital loss of the season, 3-1 this past weekend.

In American football they won with a pair of td's and a missed extra point but in futbol it was a systematic taking apart of an overmatched team. One record set, another equaled as Alex Morgan tied the GOAT, Michelle Akers with 5 goals in a game. The 15,591 who witnessed this fireworks show had to have left impressed, despite the fact it was Thailand the US beat, there was one little girl the cameras kept going to who was crying, so not all left happy. Another record tied was that the USA had 7 players score, equalling that mark set by Germany.
