Then it is possible for the US to advance.

I could apply the same to the situation of the Polish team.

The US definately overtook Poland for worst performance in the World Cup so far.

Other than Australia and England, it hasn't been good so far for the "Coalition of the Willing" countries.

Gads, I'm so sorry about the Polish side. It gave the USA a run-for-the-money in the "worst performance" category.

You know, I just don't think this game is ever going to catch on.

Actually I find it funny that in places like the Ivory Coast, civil war is put on hold while the team competes for the World Cup, but here in the good ol' USA we muster up more enthusiasm for GOLF.

I wonder which is the worst domination, the Czechs over the US, or the Mavs over the Heat.

Golf translates better on TV than Soccer does.

You know, the Czech Republic is also a part of the Coalition of the Willing.

There's a whole generation of kids growing up now playing soccer. Many kids who couldn't compete in baseball or football.

I know I've got 3, my 10 yr old has been playing 7 years, my 6 y.o. and 4 (5 in 2 weeks ;-) )y.o. have been dribbling the ball since they could toddle.

The US is just a generation or so behind. We're getting there. If nothing else, Americans are competitive, and do like to win ;-)

That's the point though. When they get the kids who do compete in football, baseball, and basketball then we'll have a chance. If Marcus Vick would have played soccer instead of football, then we might have had something.

As a true insomnia cure. Don't get me wrong, I like golf, I've even caddied for pros, but golf on TV is instant snoozeville.

Hehe, Nascar. Turn left, straight, turn left, straight, ... turn left, straight, crash, turn left, straight, turn left, straight, ... turn left, straight, stop for gas and tires, turn left, straight, ... turn left, straight, turn left, straight, the end.
