U.S. Men's Soccer and the Workout

I am a huge fan of both the U.S. Men's and Women's National Teams. The men had a great run in the Copa America Centenario making it all the way to the semi-finals. However, last night they ran into a buzzsaw that was Lionel Messi and the Argentinians who trounced the U.S. 4-0. There are a lot of people trying to reason it out.... three of the U.S. starters did not play because they had accumulated too many yellow cards... The reality of the situation is this: The U.S. Men's National Team has gotten a LOT better.... but they are still not ready to threaten the really great teams in the world. The U.S. Women's National Team is another story. Dominant. But at least they had to sue because they make less money per game compared to their male counterparts?!

Just got back from another great NOLS trip down the Rio Grande. I am always impressed and inspired by the Big Bend area of Texas. Amazing stars and sleeping next to a river have a way of making you feel very small.
