There wouldn't be any soccer match until 10:00 AM when US Women's National Team would take Japanese. However, I am always an early bird and it wasn't an exception on this beautiful Sunday morning either though I was allergic to the change of the weather, which drove my throat so dry and tight.
Hesitating a little bit, I didn't go to Lynnwood High to practice soccer, instead, I turned onto CNN to watch Jab's State of Union. When I made the comment on Periscope about Trump University, one viewer popped a comment on immigration. I said that I am an immigrant but pretty sure what I contributed to this country was more than I got. If I move out of the country, it will be a loss to the country. I just wanted to use it as an example to remind the immigration laws be reviewed from both sides. Clinton was poised to clinch Democratic nomination but Sanders was still trying to win California next week. If he succeeds, it will put Clinton into a very embarrassing scenario. Even she still can clinch the nomination, I don't think she has any other choice not to select Sanders to be her running mate. Someone popped another comment on my screen to blame Sanders a socialist. I countered that Sanders claimed himself a socialist but he didn't really understand Socialism. First of all, former Soviet Union, China were Totalitarian Socialism, which fouled their citizens to sacrifice for ruling Communist Party's interests. The leaders of the countries were imperial families instead of public servants; Secondly, Sanders admired Scandinavian Socialism deeply, as I said, he probably was far away from what I had studied it for two decades. Scandinavian Socialism is the highest social form in the world but homogeneous and facing the challenges now. US is a much larger country with tremendous diversified demographics, it's no way to have Scandinavian models implemented; Someone pointed out the crisis in Venezuela, I answered that I wasn't familiar with its socialism but could assume that it must be very disorganized. In addition, as I remember, many years ago, I had learned Venezuela used to be ranked 7th largest economy for a period of time but went down gradually due to lack of disciplines. Does it rely on oil export a lot? I think so. Under current circumstance, it's also not a surprise it gets into deep trouble. I also reassured that I keep my Presidential Campaign to beat Trump and Clinton. The newly joined candidate from Libertarian Party is no influence on voters at all.
US Women National Team played a better match than they did in last week. Morgan knocked the ball with her left foot timely to score the second goal. I don't know how many international friendly they will play before going to Olympics. It's fun of watching their plays.
Jamaica played Venezuela at Soldier Field in Chicago in its group stage match. They reserved their top player but the coach had to send him in after they were behind a goal and short of one player due to the red card. Coach himself was sent out to the stand due to the argument with referee. Eventually, they lost this crucial match. However, with Mexico and Uruguay in the same group, I don't think they were really confident to advance. Venezuela sent a bunch of beautiful girls cheering for their team on the stands, which is a soft weapon to winning the neutral fans off the field.
The following match became the best one since the tournament kicked off. More than 60,000 Mexican fans flooded University of Phoenix Stadium. Mexican scored a very quick goal and Uruguay lost a player due to the red card. In second half, Uruguay players did a much better job and equalized the match. In the last several minutes, Uruguay defenders lost concentrations, eventually lost two goals right before the end of the match. Mexican fans were illuminated. It's a happy night for them.
Catching up my diary for Saturday, I didn't watch a movie on HBO or StarZ as I had usually done to close the weekend. I planned to leave earlier then come back home to catch two more Copa Centenario matches on Monday night.
