It’s a Funny Ol’ Game…

I have to laugh sometimes at how people jump from one extreme to another. We seem to have become a bi-polar society or something—not that I’m an expert on the topic or anything. The American soccer fan is a prime example of this.

Pride for Africa, Gold for Spain

Woulda Coulda Shoulda

Reflecting on yesterday’s USA-Ghana, match I’ve come to the conclusion that perhaps we really shouldn’t be surprised the World Cup is over for the Stars & Stripes. While the team did not do poorly, well, not by 2006 or 1998 standards, they weren’t exactly setting the competition on fire either.
