Given the circumstances one one is great!

Never thought I'd live to see the USA tie Italy in the World Cup, especially playing one man down for a half. We have arrived.

The US has been magnificent.

Yes! U-S-A! U-S-A!


Couldn't agree more!

A draw against Italy is nothing to be sneezed at, especially when you're one man down. Congratulations!!!

Yippee!

I feel much better about Thursday.

Now...

I might be on the road all day and have to figure out a way to at least listen (rather watch)! I don't think we can take a 2 hr breakfast stop!

And it is over.

All I can say is that the American players put in an heroic performance!

Our goal was an "own goal" - Italian defender with an errant header.

Remember Colombia?
