Sacramento Republic FC, a new team this season in the USL Pro league, is drawing 20,000 fans every game. They have been playing in a college stadium with artificial turf, football lines, and narrow field, they have a brand new stadium, but it only holds 8000 fans. The stadium will be jammed every game for the rest of the season.
75%, eh? One win and you’re already putting the US through to the next round. Nice rebuttal to a charge of misplaced confidence.
For the record, only 3 of Costa Rica’s squad plays for MLS and zero Mexicans. Concacaf’s success does not equal MLS success.
