And here's what I said earlier about the big loss today:

"I hate to say it, but as much as it sucked to see the U.S. lose, you have to be happy at least it was to Ghana. Basically any country that throws national holidays for winning a World Cup match probably deserves it more than we, the country that actually has something called NASCAR Nation, does. And it’s not like they have much of anything else going for them and I don’t mean that in a snotty kind of way, I just mean that it’s not like Bono is running around trying to save our asses."


And yeah, the bummer of it is that a lot of the mainstream, old school sports guys, the one's who only care about the World Cup when America is in it will go back to ignoring it and making snide comments about soccer when they're completely missing the absolute fun that the rest of the Cup has been.
