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. 

Steinberg also posted your official excuse letter -- if you're a Republic fan -- to Wednesday's watch party at the downtown convention center. 

Doors open at 4 p.m. You will need to RSVP.
