Unfortunately one of the goals came as a result of a dubious penalty call&#8230;but a win is a win I guess. The U.S. has become increasing dominant in CONCOCAF, our region of the world. Our guests left around 8:30&#8230;we were tired after a very long day.  The guards owe Charles some tacos!<\/p><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div>Brad is feeling better today after a bout with a stomach virus!
