USA vs Costa Rica 4-0 All Goals & Highlights (Copa America 2016)
Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports
The United States earned their first win of the Copa America Centenario with a 4-0 victory over CONCACAF foe Costa Rica.
Goals were scored by Clint Dempsey, Jermaine Jones, Bobby Wood, and Graham Zusi. Dempsey was a standout player in the match, scoring one goal and adding two assists. The goal was his 50th goal for the senior national team, putting him within striking distance of Landon Donovan"s record of 57 goals.
Brad Guzan, who plays his club soccer with English Championship club Aston Villa, was in goal for the shutout.
Here are the highlights via FOX Soccer:
Doug McIntyre of ESPN FC pointed to veteran leadership as the key point in the win:
For all the pre-match talk about the younger U.S. players -- specifically 25-year-old Darlington Nagbe and 17-year-old Borussia Dortmund wunderkind Christian Pulisic -- in the squad, grizzled World Cup vets Dempsey and Jones were the Americans" best players in the Windy City.
Dempsey, 33, took his high-stakes PK with confidence, sending Pemberton diving the wrong way for his 50th international goal, and "Deuce" was involved in just about every U.S. foray forward in the first half. Meantime, the 34-year-old Jones, who many U.S. fans (and more than a few media members) suggested earlier in the week should sit in favor of Nagbe, was the team"s best player.
The match was played at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois.
The U.S."s next match is Saturday against Paraguay at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They lost their first match of the Copa America to Colombia, 2-0.

Bernie Sanders Keeps Up Momentum Before California Primary
Set aside, a moment, the question of how many delegates Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders won in todays California primary in California for a moment. One of the most important takeaways from the contest is how Republicans have completely lost their grip in the nations most populous state.
In 2010, California voters approved new electoral rules allowing the top two finishers in primary contests for all Senate and House of Representative seats to advance to the state general election, regardless of party affiliation. Lately, thats meant that Republicans are being left out of the state general elections altogether.
For the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer (a Democrat), for example, that means that Democrat Kamala Harris, the state Attorney General, will likely face off against fellow Democrat Loretta Sanchez, an Orange County congresswoman. Its the same story in House and state assembly races farther down the ballot.
Come November, there may not be many Republican candidates on the California ballot for the partys dwindling number of registered voters to support. Given the deep ambivalence of many Republicans regarding their presumptive nominee Donald Trump, not that many GOP voters may bother to turn up anyway.
The number and percentage of registered Republicans in California has declined steadily since 2000, even as the states population has grown. Republicans now represent only 27.6% of registered California votersjust above the 24% who have no declared party preference. Not a single Republican holds statewide office.
This wasnt always the case. As the Economist points out, California voted for the Republican nominee in every presidential race from 1952 to 1988, with the exception of Lyndon Johnsons 1964 landslide victory. The GOP started losing ground in the 1990s, when it embraced anti-immigration rhetoric and measures just as the number of Latino and Asian voters in the state started rising. Republicans have paid a horrible price.
California is the leading edge of the countrys demographic changes, Republican state chairman Jim Brulte told the Washington Post last year. Frankly, Republicans in California did not react quickly enough to them, and we have paid a horrible price.
No party needs California to win the White House, but it sure does help. The state holds 55 electoral votesone-fifth of the total a candidate needs to secure the presidency. Relinquishing those for good, or even for the foreseeable future, puts the GOP at a major disadvantage.

The Today co-host dropped the baby bomb on Tuesdays episode of the NBC show after gathering the crew for a friendly game of Fishbowl in which the anchors answer burning questions. Naturally, Guthrie was forced to answer a seemingly silly question: Are you pregnant?
Yeah! I am pregnant, the 44-year-old declared as her fellow co-hosts clapped and cheered.
She announced that she and husband Michael Feldman are expecting another baby in December. The two are already parents to 22-month-old daughterVale.
Its hard for words to contain all the excitement Mike and I have about expecting a new baby in December. When Vale was born, our happiness was complete, Guthrie wrote in a statement on the Today show site.

The thought of getting to add to our family now is beyond every hope, dream and prayer I have ever had. It is not simply double the joy it is joy multiplied infinitely.
Though Guthrie is excited about the news, it means she will be opting out of the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro this year, given the widespread impact of the mosquito-borne Zika virus.The virusis known for being connected to severe birth defects, and itslatest outbreak beganin Brazil.
Im not going to be able to go to Rio. The doctors say that I shouldnt, because of the CDC, because of the Zika virus, Guthrie addressed her colleagues on theTodayshow. Youre going to have to go to female beach volleyball without me, Matt. Try to carry on.
But Guthrie will have plenty to keep her busy back home.
You guys will have a great time, and Ill hold down the fort, she adds. Were going to be in the height of the campaign season, so Ill be here.
Guthrie played a clip of the moment she broke the baby news to Vale and the toddler wasnt too happy.
Vale, do you want a new baby? Guthrie asked the little girl, who appropriately was wearingan I was Here First t-shirt. Vale replied, No!

Hugh Hefner"s Playboy mansion in Los Angeles will soon have a new owner the billionaire next-door neighbour.
Representatives for Playboy Enterprises confirmed Monday that the 20,000-square-foot property in escrow for a pending sale.
The mansion is located between theUCLAcampus andBeverlyHills, just west of downtown Los Angeles.
The buyer is believed to be Daren Metropoulos, who along with his father and brotherruninvestment firm Metropoulos & Co. Metropoulos is a former co-CEO of brewer Pabst Brewing Companyand the current owner of Hostess Brands, the maker of Twinkies, which hiscompany bought in 2013.
Metropoulos bought the property next door to the mansion from Playboy for $18 million US in 2009, and has long wanted to expand his presence.
The deal for theGothic Tudor-style mansion built in 1927 includes allowing Hefner to stay at the residence for the rest of his life, as a tenant.
"If the purchase closes and at some point after Mr.Hefner"stenancy ends, Mr.Metropoulosintends to reconnect the two estates, ultimately returning the combined almost three-hectare compound to the original vision executed by noted architect Arthur R. Kelly and its first owner, ArthurLetts, Jr., the department store heir whose father conceived and developedHolmbyHills when it was theWolfskillRanch,"Metropoulos& Co., said in a statement.
"In the meantime," the statement continued, "he is pleased to continue to have Mr.Hefneras his neighbour and feels fortunate and privileged for the opportunity to serve as a steward of this historic property."
Both sides have declined to offer the sale price, but in January,the entire property was listed for as muchas $200 million US. Local real estate agents said at the time that appeared ridiculously overpriced. A nearby property sold last year for $59 million.
The mansionsits on more than two hectaresand has 29 rooms, including a game house, home theatre, wine cellar, gym, tennis court, swimming pool and the famous grotto and comes with a four-bedroom guest house.
