Battle of Gloucester (1777) - Wikipedia

Lafayette led 350 men toward the British position. He carefully scouted the British camp, at times personally coming within firing range of British sentries. He then led his men in a surprise attack on a forward picket of jägers. The 400 Hessians were caught completely unprepared, and began a disorganized fighting retreat toward the main British camp, with Lafayette and his men giving chase. Cornwallis sent some grenadiers to provide covering fire as the Germans retreated, and Lafayette withdrew under cover of darkness returning to Greene.

Lafayette's reconnaissance was a success. He suffered only one killed and five wounded, against 60 casualties on the British side. Word of the operation was instrumental in a decision by Congress to award him a commission as a major general in the Continental Army.

I love the setup of the group stage games. Wake up. 4 games. 1 hour in between each. Doesn't drag into the night. I haven't caught much of the early games but watch on DVR if it's a good matchup.

Dutch are playing for the draw because they still play Qatar. Would love to see Ecuador score

Ok, we're all excited for the Big Game. I just want to make it clear that even though he is the enemy, Harry Kane slander will not be tolerated. I will be taking names. You have been warned.

Is the US wearing all blue to make Pulisic feel like he's playing for Chelsea? Because I don't think that would be a good idea.
