I wish all sports were known by this moniker.

It's just my sour grapes, but a horrible Red Card call against Astate, in the 2020 Tournament final, may have saved them from an Astate win. I know an apology was tendered by the head of officials sometime after. Astate was leading 1-0 when the red card was issued in the second half. Astate obviously had to play a man down and USA eventually wore us down and scored 2 goals in the last 6 minutes to win it.

Yes, we were cheated out of that.

We've had a fair amount of success against South lately, we just keep losing early in the League Tournament before we can face them.

We lost in first round last year to ULM but we had 7-8 players out due to injury by that point and just ran out of gas. But we were in the Finals against USA the 2 previous years.
