one bad call vs one goal hardly is an argument; we don't have the foundation for a great soccer team. Why is tea better than the US Soccer team? It stays in the cup longer.

"I think we got someone angry somewhere, and our karma is coming back," Donovan said. "In 2002, everything seemed to go right, to go our way. Everything didn't go our way here."


That is a pretty passive statement. Maybe the team just didn't play very well, and karma had nothing to do with it.

>>Americans are sore losers (Soccer)<<

I'd have to care before I could be a sore loser.

Did terrorists attack? Is the world cup traded on the NY stock exchange? Until one of thsoe two things happens, I have no interest.

The team that reached the quarterfinals four years ago and entered this tournament ranked fifth showed it isn't one of the world's top five or eight teams.

Five or eight? More like fifty or eighty.

The good news is the few of us care. ....and that fact alone drives the soccer-mad world mad.

The longer you think about that, the less sense it makes. Really bad tea would stay in the cup forever.

It is a fact, however, that one goal could not make a difference in this match.

One bad call?...I saw quite a few bad calls.

Its probably for the better that were out...you think the world hates us now, let us win the world cup and that hatred will grow 10 fold.

"I'd have to care before I could be a sore loser."

My sentiment exactly.

Does the World Cup happen every year? I'm not kidding. I really don't know.

To improve the team: Like every other sport, recruit talent, practice practice practice, and get a good coach.

Those refs were definitely biased against us! It wasn't fair! If I was over there I would riot in the streets!...That said, I didn't even know until this week that we even had a US soccer team. What is soccer again? Is that where all the soccer moms are?

Even jokes benefit from making sense.
