Well, the US did better than anyone could have expected. Let down in 2nd half, too conservative, but that’s ok.

For whatever reason *may I suggest money* soccer/futbol is not as big in the US as it is the rest of the world. Kids play till they’re about 8-10, then move on to US football. When/if there’s more $$$ in US soccer, it’ll become more popular. Just the way we are.

Yeah, I’m ok. At least we showed we can play with the best.

We lost, because the real Brazil showed up in the second half, there is no shame in losing. Now we just have to figure out how to stay at that level for a whole 90 minutes, we’ll get there.
