"The USMNT only three days ago moved their March 5 friendly against Ukraine away from the country suffering from political unrest (which now appears to be even better of a move).

However, the match is once again under a black cloud of doubt, with no word yet on its fate.

A car bomb targeting a top Cyprus official detonated today, and while nobody was injured in the blast, all first-division matches in the Cypriot First Division were postponed this weekend as a result.

Cypriot police confirmed that an explosive device was found on the hood of referee Leontios Trattos’s car, and it detonated early Friday morning.

No word has been given as to why the official was targeted. He most recently was in charge of a 1-0 derby win last Saturday for Apollon Limassol over AEL Limassol. Eight yellow cards were handed out in that match."
