Mayor Steinberg wagers bet with Orlando's mayor over US Open Cup final
SACRAMENTO - Mayor Darrell Steinberg agreed to a little wager over Wednesday's big match between Sacramento Republic FC and Orlando FC in the U.S. Open Cup.
Here's the bet: The winning team's flag will be flown at the losing team's city hall and the mayors will personally donate to the winning team's charitable foundation.
"Mayor Dyer, I accept your terms. Sacramento doesn't back down from a challenge," said Mayor Steinberg.
We here in @TheCityofSac are always ready for a challenge. I accept your terms @orlandomayor and can’t wait to see The Old Glory Red of the @SacRepublicFC flying in Orlando. https://t.co/ySysNQU0hc pic.twitter.com/AerGaDuDS4
