Gallardo said he’s too busy to be interviewed for this story, and Hobbs did not respond to multiple requests. In a March interview with Jefferson Public Radio, Hobbs said this measure is intended to restore trust in the elections. “The Constitution guarantees a representative form of government,” she said. “And if you do not know that the people that you elected are rightfully in office and that the election was fair and honest, then the very foundation of our government crumbles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s one problem: a lot of what’s proposed appears to violate state and federal laws.

But their efforts face some opposition. “It’s going to disenfranchise voters,” said Cork McGowan, a Redding resident who wrote the opposition statement for Measure B. “Particularly in a rural county like Shasta, some people have to drive quite a distance to be able to vote, and to do that on one day is unfair and very unreasonable.” McGowan said he’s not part of any group.

Will SoFi’s union workers reap the benefits?\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Spectators in Los Angeles this summer for the World Cup could pay up to $209,000 for a private suite for just one match, but union workers at SoFi Stadium are worried they’ll miss out on the action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bartenders, cooks, dishwashers and servers represented by Unite Here Local 11 have staffed the events held at the stadium since it opened, from the 2022 Super Bowl and NFL games every fall to Taylor Swift and Beyoncé concerts. That includes positions in suites, where fans can pay top dollar for private rooms, food and drink. But FIFA has brought in another entity entirely to run its luxury program for World Cup fans. The company, called On Location, is FIFA’s official “hospitality partner,” offering those that can afford it exclusive seating, special gifts and meals. Their packages can cost tens of thousands of dollars or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers at SoFi say they’re worried that FIFA’s relationship with On Location means jobs that would typically go to union workers — and the wages and tips that go with them — will instead go to subcontractors without union protections. It’s one reason they’re threatening to strike when the World Cup comes to town. ”We have so many wonderful workers who’ve been here season after season,” said Kay Blake, a bartender from Inglewood who works at SoFi Stadium. “I don’t see why they would partner with someone else to bring an experience that we can bring ourselves.” Workers also want to be paid a higher rate that reflects the sky-high ticket prices for the eight World Cup matches at SoFi Stadium. They’re asking for double pay for major events including the tournament — an arrangement that the food service workers at Dodger Stadium have for the World Series, according to Unite Here.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/hollywood-actors-reach-tentative-labor-agreement-with-studios-streamers\">\u003cstrong>Hollywood actors reach tentative labor agreement with studios, streamers\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>SAG-AFTRA, the union representing Hollywood actors, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sagaftra.org/joint-release-sag-aftra-and-amptp-reach-tentative-agreement-successor-2023-sag-aftra-tvtheatrical\">reached a tentative agreement\u003c/a> with major studios on Saturday on a new contract covering films, scripted TV dramas and streaming content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tentative agreement still needs to be approved by the SAG-AFTRA National Board, which the union says will meet in the coming days to review the terms.

Gallardo said he’s too busy to be interviewed for this story, and Hobbs did not respond to multiple requests. In a March interview with Jefferson Public Radio, Hobbs said this measure is intended to restore trust in the elections. “The Constitution guarantees a representative form of government,” she said. “And if you do not know that the people that you elected are rightfully in office and that the election was fair and honest, then the very foundation of our government crumbles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s one problem: a lot of what’s proposed appears to violate state and federal laws. One example is hand counting. In 2023, county supervisors’ efforts gained national attention over a similar issue.

But their efforts face some opposition. “It’s going to disenfranchise voters,” said Cork McGowan, a Redding resident who wrote the opposition statement for Measure B. “Particularly in a rural county like Shasta, some people have to drive quite a distance to be able to vote, and to do that on one day is unfair and very unreasonable.” McGowan said he’s not part of any group. He just saw there was no organized opposition to the measure and stepped up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That includes positions in suites, where fans can pay top dollar for private rooms, food and drink. But FIFA has brought in another entity entirely to run its luxury program for World Cup fans. The company, called On Location, is FIFA’s official “hospitality partner,” offering those that can afford it exclusive seating, special gifts and meals. Their packages can cost tens of thousands of dollars or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers at SoFi say they’re worried that FIFA’s relationship with On Location means jobs that would typically go to union workers — and the wages and tips that go with them — will instead go to subcontractors without union protections. It’s one reason they’re threatening to strike when the World Cup comes to town. ”We have so many wonderful workers who’ve been here season after season,” said Kay Blake, a bartender from Inglewood who works at SoFi Stadium. “I don’t see why they would partner with someone else to bring an experience that we can bring ourselves.” Workers also want to be paid a higher rate that reflects the sky-high ticket prices for the eight World Cup matches at SoFi Stadium. They’re asking for double pay for major events including the tournament — an arrangement that the food service workers at Dodger Stadium have for the World Series, according to Unite Here.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/hollywood-actors-reach-tentative-labor-agreement-with-studios-streamers\">\u003cstrong>Hollywood actors reach tentative labor agreement with studios, streamers\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>SAG-AFTRA, the union representing Hollywood actors, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sagaftra.org/joint-release-sag-aftra-and-amptp-reach-tentative-agreement-successor-2023-sag-aftra-tvtheatrical\">reached a tentative agreement\u003c/a> with major studios on Saturday on a new contract covering films, scripted TV dramas and streaming content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tentative agreement still needs to be approved by the SAG-AFTRA National Board, which the union says will meet in the coming days to review the terms.

Both national teams covet a spot in the knockout round, where the initial 32 World Cup teams is halved to 16. Iran has never made it that far. The U.S. has, but considers advancement to \u003cem>this\u003c/em> knockout stage a must, as a way to validate the last four years spent building a men's program after the disappointment of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/11/557128715/revenge-shock-and-rage-after-u-s-mens-team-whiffs-on-world-cup\">failing to qualify\u003c/a> for the last World Cup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. has to beat Iran to advance. Four years come down to one match.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We said this team is going to be judged on what we do at the World Cup,\" American coach Gregg Berhalter said in Doha on Monday, \"so that's fine. We'll deal with it. We're focused on winning tomorrow.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As is Iran — who can still advance with a tie, though the team is expected to hold nothing back in pursuit of a win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their cocoons of team practices and meetings and meals, the focus is simple. But every time both teams have ventured outside, the match focus has been challenged by an escalating number of issues far from the tournament's pristine green football pitches.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>It started with a silent anthem\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At first, the issues involved Iran alone, as the country's recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/24/1139147033/countries-worldwide-consider-how-to-help-protesters-in-iran\">turmoil\u003c/a> played out symbolically at this World Cup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It started before Iran's first match, against England, as the Iranian players \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/21/1138259076/iran-world-cup-anthem-protest\">stayed silent\u003c/a> during their national anthem. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/28/football/iran-soccer-family-threats-intl-spt/index.html\">New reports\u003c/a> say that afterward, the team was called to a meeting with Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and told players' families would be jailed or tortured if the players refused to sing going forward, or joined in any other political protest against the Iranian government. Against Wales, the players sang. But at that match, Iran's domestic troubles began to play out in a more contentious way, among Iranian fans. The players' on-field euphoria after beating Wales 2-nil shared the spotlight with \u003ca href=\"https://www.espn.com/soccer/ir-iran/story/4813286/iran-supporters-confront-protesters-before-wc-game-vs-wales\">ugly confrontations\u003c/a> between fans supporting the protest movement back home, and fans supporting the Iranian government that's been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/world/middleeast/iran-protests-children.html\">cracking down\u003c/a> on protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the flashpoints during those confrontations was over flags. Some of the protest movement supporters waved, or tried to wave, pre-revolution flags of Iran. Government supporters, with help from Qatari security, confiscated those flags, reportedly ripping some away, and waved flags of the current national Islamic Republic of Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy over flags became even more pointed when the U.S. entered the fray.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be the Change ignites a firestorm\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the lead-up to this World Cup, the U.S. Soccer Federation talked frequently about a mission statement it created in the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd — a statement, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ussoccer.com/be-the-change\">Be the Change\u003c/a>, that promoted an awareness and dedication to speak out on social injustices in the U.S. and around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This past weekend, U.S. Soccer spoke out. And ignited a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/27/1139304827/usa-change-iran-flag-to-remove-islamic-republic-emblem-before-world-cup-clash\">political firestorm\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was to post on social media images of Iran's flag scrubbed of its Islamic emblem and language saying \"God is great.\" It was the U.S. federation's way to show \"support for the women in Iran fighting for basic human rights.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The action drew support, but also anger and calls for the U.S. team, which had no prior knowledge of the federation's plan, to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2022/11/27/2812899/iran-to-file-complaint-to-fifa-ethics-committee-against-us-soccer-team\">kicked out\u003c/a> of the World Cup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The depictions of the doctored flags were removed from social media and the normal Iranian flag was restored. The federation said the removal wasn't because of pressure, but rather because \"we wanted to show our support for the women in Iran with our graphic for 24 hours.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They may have wanted the show of support to be short-lived, but with tensions already high, the controversy followed both teams to Monday's pre-match press conferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Trying to steer toward soccer\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters on Monday, Berhalter willingly answered questions about football and Tuesday's match, and dutifully answered questions about the flag flap — often from openly hostile members of the Iranian media contingent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he apologized on behalf of the players and team, Berhalter said several times that he and the team had no advance warning or involvement in the federation's plan to doctor the Iranian flag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had no idea about what U.S. Soccer put out,\" Berhalter said, adding, \"of course our thoughts are with the Iranian people, the whole country, the whole team, everyone. But our focus is on this match.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, questions came, going beyond flags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the more contentious moments came when an Iranian journalist scolded U.S. team captain Tyler Adams for incorrectly saying \"eye-ran\" rather than \"ih-rahn.\" The 23-year old, who's Black, apologized for the mispronunciation and then thoughtfully answered a question about whether he was \"OK to be representing [the U.S.], which has so much discrimination against Black people?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's discrimination everywhere you go,\" said Adams, whose mother is white and who grew up in a white family. \"So I had a little bit of different cultures and I was very easily able to assimilate in different cultures. You know not everyone has that ease and the ability to do that. And obviously it takes longer to understand. And through education, I think it's super important. Like, you just educated me now in the pronunciation of your country. So, yeah, it's a process. I think as long as you see progress, that's the most important thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Forget the mental games\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even soccer questions had a political tint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Iranian team press conference, a British reporter asked coach Carlos Queiroz whether he'd use the flag controversy to motivate his players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If after 42 years in this game as a coach,\" Queiroz said, \"I still believe that I could win games with those mental games, I think I did not learn nothing about the game.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than mental games, Adams expects Queiroz to repeat the aggressive, physical style of game Iran played in its last match — an impressive 2-0 win over Wales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You could tell from the mentality of the group. They were attacking, counterattacking, doing everything they needed to do,\" Adams said. \"Every single moment of the game looked like it could be their moment to score a goal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both teams, Adams said, are treating this like a knockout game, where only the winner moves on. In fact, Iran can tie and still advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as U.S. tactics, Berhalter praised his team's defense, especially in holding England scoreless \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/25/1139220807/usmnt-england-world-cup-tie-qatar\">in a 0-0 draw on Friday\u003c/a>. Berhalter has heard the criticism that his team needs to find a way to score — the U.S. only has one goal in the tournament — but he said the answer isn't in changing personnel among his offensive minded forwards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think they've done a decent job for us,\" Berhalter said. \"It's up to the rest of the group to give them quality [passes] that they can finish off some of these opportunities. We've been defending really well and that keeps you in games. And then we know in \u003cem>this\u003c/em> game we're going to need to score a goal, that's going to have to happen. So we stay calm, we have a plan, and we will go out and try to execute that plan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calm. Hard to imagine anything about Tuesday's super charged match being calm.

Both national teams covet a spot in the knockout round, where the initial 32 World Cup teams is halved to 16. Iran has never made it that far.

But every time both teams have ventured outside, the match focus has been challenged by an escalating number of issues far from the tournament's pristine green football pitches.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>It started with a silent anthem\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At first, the issues involved Iran alone, as the country's recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/24/1139147033/countries-worldwide-consider-how-to-help-protesters-in-iran\">turmoil\u003c/a> played out symbolically at this World Cup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It started before Iran's first match, against England, as the Iranian players \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/21/1138259076/iran-world-cup-anthem-protest\">stayed silent\u003c/a> during their national anthem. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/28/football/iran-soccer-family-threats-intl-spt/index.html\">New reports\u003c/a> say that afterward, the team was called to a meeting with Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and told players' families would be jailed or tortured if the players refused to sing going forward, or joined in any other political protest against the Iranian government. Against Wales, the players sang. But at that match, Iran's domestic troubles began to play out in a more contentious way, among Iranian fans. The players' on-field euphoria after beating Wales 2-nil shared the spotlight with \u003ca href=\"https://www.espn.com/soccer/ir-iran/story/4813286/iran-supporters-confront-protesters-before-wc-game-vs-wales\">ugly confrontations\u003c/a> between fans supporting the protest movement back home, and fans supporting the Iranian government that's been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/world/middleeast/iran-protests-children.html\">cracking down\u003c/a> on protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the flashpoints during those confrontations was over flags. Some of the protest movement supporters waved, or tried to wave, pre-revolution flags of Iran. Government supporters, with help from Qatari security, confiscated those flags, reportedly ripping some away, and waved flags of the current national Islamic Republic of Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy over flags became even more pointed when the U.S. entered the fray.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be the Change ignites a firestorm\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the lead-up to this World Cup, the U.S. Soccer Federation talked frequently about a mission statement it created in the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd — a statement, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ussoccer.com/be-the-change\">Be the Change\u003c/a>, that promoted an awareness and dedication to speak out on social injustices in the U.S. and around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This past weekend, U.S. Soccer spoke out. And ignited a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/27/1139304827/usa-change-iran-flag-to-remove-islamic-republic-emblem-before-world-cup-clash\">political firestorm\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was to post on social media images of Iran's flag scrubbed of its Islamic emblem and language saying \"God is great.\" It was the U.S. federation's way to show \"support for the women in Iran fighting for basic human rights.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The action drew support, but also anger and calls for the U.S. team, which had no prior knowledge of the federation's plan, to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2022/11/27/2812899/iran-to-file-complaint-to-fifa-ethics-committee-against-us-soccer-team\">kicked out\u003c/a> of the World Cup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The depictions of the doctored flags were removed from social media and the normal Iranian flag was restored. The federation said the removal wasn't because of pressure, but rather because \"we wanted to show our support for the women in Iran with our graphic for 24 hours.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They may have wanted the show of support to be short-lived, but with tensions already high, the controversy followed both teams to Monday's pre-match press conferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Trying to steer toward soccer\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters on Monday, Berhalter willingly answered questions about football and Tuesday's match, and dutifully answered questions about the flag flap — often from openly hostile members of the Iranian media contingent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he apologized on behalf of the players and team, Berhalter said several times that he and the team had no advance warning or involvement in the federation's plan to doctor the Iranian flag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had no idea about what U.S. Soccer put out,\" Berhalter said, adding, \"of course our thoughts are with the Iranian people, the whole country, the whole team, everyone. But our focus is on this match.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, questions came, going beyond flags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the more contentious moments came when an Iranian journalist scolded U.S. team captain Tyler Adams for incorrectly saying \"eye-ran\" rather than \"ih-rahn.\" The 23-year old, who's Black, apologized for the mispronunciation and then thoughtfully answered a question about whether he was \"OK to be representing [the U.S.], which has so much discrimination against Black people?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's discrimination everywhere you go,\" said Adams, whose mother is white and who grew up in a white family. \"So I had a little bit of different cultures and I was very easily able to assimilate in different cultures. You know not everyone has that ease and the ability to do that. And obviously it takes longer to understand. And through education, I think it's super important. Like, you just educated me now in the pronunciation of your country. So, yeah, it's a process. I think as long as you see progress, that's the most important thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Forget the mental games\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even soccer questions had a political tint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Iranian team press conference, a British reporter asked coach Carlos Queiroz whether he'd use the flag controversy to motivate his players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If after 42 years in this game as a coach,\" Queiroz said, \"I still believe that I could win games with those mental games, I think I did not learn nothing about the game.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than mental games, Adams expects Queiroz to repeat the aggressive, physical style of game Iran played in its last match — an impressive 2-0 win over Wales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You could tell from the mentality of the group. They were attacking, counterattacking, doing everything they needed to do,\" Adams said. \"Every single moment of the game looked like it could be their moment to score a goal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both teams, Adams said, are treating this like a knockout game, where only the winner moves on. In fact, Iran can tie and still advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as U.S. tactics, Berhalter praised his team's defense, especially in holding England scoreless \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/25/1139220807/usmnt-england-world-cup-tie-qatar\">in a 0-0 draw on Friday\u003c/a>. Berhalter has heard the criticism that his team needs to find a way to score — the U.S. only has one goal in the tournament — but he said the answer isn't in changing personnel among his offensive minded forwards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think they've done a decent job for us,\" Berhalter said. \"It's up to the rest of the group to give them quality [passes] that they can finish off some of these opportunities. We've been defending really well and that keeps you in games. And then we know in \u003cem>this\u003c/em> game we're going to need to score a goal, that's going to have to happen. So we stay calm, we have a plan, and we will go out and try to execute that plan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calm. Hard to imagine anything about Tuesday's super charged match being calm. The players will try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Throughout the tournament, the U.S. brushed aside criticism, complaints of arrogance and calls for players to tone down their goal celebrations. All the team did was win. All seven World Cup games, in fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first half, the U.S. created more chances than the Netherlands. The Americans attacked and attacked but the Dutch defense and, particularly, the goalkeeping of Sari van Veenendaal who blocked four shots, kept the U.S. from scoring for the first time in an opening half this tournament.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sell-out crowd at Stade de Lyon in Lyon, France, decked out in red, white and blue … and orange, cheered and cheered and sweated it out with nervous fans watching around the world. Before the final, neither team had trailed or lost a game in this tournament.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both squads had each only permitted a total of three goals. The Dutch got better as the tournament progressed — keeping their opponents from scoring in each of the knockout games before the final.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. made one change at halftime, replacing Kelley O’Hara with Ali Krieger. O’Hara knocked heads with Lieke Martens late in the first half. The collisions continued in the second half. Becky Sauerbrunn was knocked to the turf, blood trickling down her face.

As forward Alex Morgan streaked in front of the Dutch goal, defender Stephanie van der Gragt tagged Morgan’s shoulder with her right boot. A penalty kick was awarded after video review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Megan Rapinoe coolly slapped the ball into the back of the net. It was her third converted penalty and sixth goal of the tournament. Rapinoe won the Golden Ball (MVP) and Golden Boot (top goal scorer).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. scoring continued in the 69th minute thanks to midfielder Rose Lavelle. She dribbled down the field and with a beautiful left-footed strike at the top of the penalty area, zipped the ball low and to the right. 2-0. It was all the scoring the U.S. would need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States rolled through the opening round with statement wins over Thailand (13-0), Chile (3-0) and Sweden (2-0). Brushing aside criticism about perceived arrogance and excessive goal celebrations, the U.S. then powered through the heart of European soccer with victories over Spain (2-1), France (2-1) and England (2-1) to make it to the final against the reigning European champions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the fifth time the United States Women’s National Team played a World Cup final (there have only been eight tournaments). The U.S. is the first team to reach three consecutive finals and joins Germany as a repeat champion (2003 and 2007).

There were supporters of both teams but the Mexico fans were especially passionate — they haven’t seen their team get through the World Cup Round of 16 since 1986.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jesus Rios was hoping for a win as something positive after a tumultuous national election in Mexico and continuing negative tension in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would mean a lot, honestly, with everything that’s been happening in the country, here and around the world,” he said. “It would be a great victory in the sense of pride and just overall joy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mexico came up short, losing to Brazil 2-0.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, fans like Sam Cuellar, who drove up from Los Angeles with his family, said it was worth getting up at 5 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s soccer, somebody’s gotta lose. No hard feelings, great time, great time. Look, Everybody’s still happy, everybody’s still happy. Sometimes you lose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite her team’s loss, Yolanda Garcia of San Jose said most of her family and friends are going to party, win or lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think most of us will take the day off,” she said, laughing. “It’s like independence day for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she wasn’t alone. The game was over by 9.a.m, and Mexico fans spilled out into the parking lot playing horns, dancing and waving flags. The party, as they say, went on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678764\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11678764\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/RS31707_70218_MexicovBrazil_AW_24-qut-1020x676.jpg\" alt=\"Mexico fans invite Brazil fans to join in their reveling following the game.
