Wednesday featured an eventful soccer matchup between the U.S. Men’s National Team and El Salvador, another NFL player getting arrested, and a new show announcement from the creators of Game of Thrones. A member of the WWE family was even saved from a helicopter crash.
So let’s not waste anymore time and just get on to today’s Cheat Sheet.
The U.S. Men’s National Team advanced to the semifinals of the Gold Cup with a 2-0 win over El Salvador
It took a little while for the U.S. to find the back of the net, but in the 41st minute an Omar Gonzalez’ header put the team up 1-0 before.

Before El Salvador could regroup at the half, U.S. defender Eric Lichaj knocked in another and boosted the team’s lead to 2-0.

The second half did not feature any scoring, but there was biting and nipple twisting. We’re still talking about soccer in case anyone was wondering.

It seems like some players on El Salvador’s roster were a little hungry and didn’t eat enough before Wednesday’s game. Luckily for them, their team lost 2-0 to the U.S. and now they have plenty of time to indulge in their favorite food dishes.

– Some genius in Florida tried to impersonate former NFL receiver Chad Johnson and somehow he did not get away with trying to buy more than $15,000 in Louis Vuitton merchandise. Normal people are clearly the minority in the state of Florida.
