My Experience From The Stands: U.S. Men’s National Team takes Down Panama 4-0

U.S. Men's National Team

Did you notice our absence during the weekend match against San Francisco?

Alongside Miami, the Kingston Stockade (New York/NPSL) joined the motion calling for implementation of Promotion/Relegation within the United States pyramid. Why such a strong action from the Riccardo Silva owned team? Let’s jump back to last week.
