USA men's team whips Mexico 3 to 0 with Matt Turner in goal. There were four red cards, two for each team. Mexican fans throw beer on our players and some are ejected for anti gay chants. In the past Mexico has been sanctioned for this type of behavior. The lesson is never learned.

US win over Mexico cut short by homophobic chants on night of four red cardsLAS VEGAS — Four players were ejected and the match was cut short by the referee after repeated homophobic chants Thursday night. The United States’ 3-0 victory over Mexico for a spot Sunday in the CONCACAF Nations League final against Canada will be remembered as much for the ugliness as for two goals by Christian Pulisic and one by Ricardo Pepi... nypost.com/2023/06/16/us-blanks-mexico-to-reach-concacaf-nations-league-final/

It must be some kind of cultural thing. When my sons reached their teen years this seemed to be the insult of choice of just about every Hispanic team they played. Spanish slang for "whore" was a distant second.

Spanish slang for "whore" was a distant second. It has been a while that Mexico has been told to stop. Sometimes they do... but when they're losing... let's just say they aren't good sports. The problem is the punishment is usually an empty stadium for some meaningless friendly against Bermuda.

Don’t know what the connection is between Turner and the St. Louis Cardinals but he shows some power in this batting practice video.

Matt Turner just saved 2 penalty kicks in the shootout in the US 3-2 PK win over Canada. Announcers gave a shoutout to Fairfield U

And with about six minutes to play in overtime and the US trailing 2 to 1 a Turner direct kick from midfield into the box produced a mad scramble that led to a Canada miscue when the ball bounced off of a Canada player and into the goal. This led to the dramatic penalty kick shootout. Turner was the hero and he was hoisted to the shoulders of his teammates at the conclusion. On Wednesday the team plays in the semis against Panama.

US looked really bad against a team they should've rolled... at least given the resumes of the players involved.
Would not be surprised to see them lose to a hungry Panama.

For whatever reason, many of the team's best players are not participating in this tourney. Where are they? I follow the team closely and I do not recognize a number of the guys in this tourney.
