Suggestion to U.S. soccer fans: Be humble, America.

The U.S. women defeated Canada 4-3 Monday to advance to the Olympic gold medal game against Japan. Alex Morgan scored the winning goal with 30 seconds left to avoid having the outcome determined by penalty kicks.

All the headlines and comments South of the Northern Border have emphasized the see-saw game, the thrilling action and has lauded the Americans for their 'never say die' attitude.

Canadian news outlets likely have a slightly different take.

With her team leading 3-2 late, Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod was cited for holding the ball too long. That gave the U.S. an indirect kick, which hit a wall of Canucks ... and apparently a Canadian hand. That resulted in a penalty kick, which Abby Wambach drilled for a tying goal in the 80th minute.

At best, both the call on McLeod and the hand-ball whistle were dubious. At worst, they were terrible calls.

Be sure that if the roles had been reversed, U.S. fans would be screaming about the team getting screwed.

Be proud of the victory ... but be humble, America.

Boomer on Tebow

Boomer Esiason, who co-hosts a radio show on NYC's WFAN, said Monday the Jets should cut Tim Tebow and throw their full support behind starting QB Mark Sanchez.

As a former starting QB, Esiason can relate to Sanchez's situation. He undoubtedly believes what he says.

But saying Tebow should be cut is calling for something that won't happen, at least not in the near future.

The expressed opinion did earn Boomer some free publicity, however. Such is the power of Tebow.
