"It was embarrassing," forward Landon Donovan said, "and that shouldn't happen."

It WAS embarrassing. I blame the coach and the players. I watch a great majority of the games, and this was probably one of the worst games I have seen in 6 years. The passing was awful and the trapping/ball control was even worse. Surprisingly I have yet to see too many Europeans rub it in and tell us how not ready for prime time we are.

Donovan was a ghost. Someone should have filed a missing persons report on him b/c he was no where to be found. I would bench Beasley as well. These people have the skill to drive to goal, and they piddled around with the ball yesterday.

That's because compared to Brazil most of them aren't ready for prime time either.

France hasn't scored in four Cup matches dating back to the 2002 Cup. This is a tough tournament and some good teams always get humiliated. Nobody will laugh too hard until their own teams are well advanced, and it's very early in this tournament.
