Or as I say, "Soccer--the game for kids with no game." Where are those orange slices and juice boxes, dammit? These kids practice HARD and pretending to be hit and flopping around on the ground!
Basically, and I'm not saying anyone threw the game, but deep down you knew the US was going to lose when ESPN kept flashing that "22-0-3" graphic, and the interviews were all about how all the Japanese team members were playing for SOMEONE they knew affected by the earthquake/tsunami. Granted, it's good that they have a little bright spot in what otherwise has been a total shit year so far, but ease up on the heartstrings/scrappy underdog bit, would ya ESPN?
And with that, I flipped over to the race up in Loudon. No way in hell I was going to fight 2-lane traffic to actually watch it in person, mind you.
