To hell with them. I hope they lose in the semi-finals. I was watching Washington Journal on C-Span yesterday morning and they show a clipping where the midfielder was quoted as saying if he wasn't playing soccer he be in iraq killing U.S. troops. I was floored when I heard that. That quote was sanitized from the version floating on here last night.
Those little bastards can eat sh!t and die for all I care.
``Bush helps to destroy our country. After a year and a half, we have passed into a very bad situation. ... We'll never believe Bush can be with us.'' -- Iraqi coach Adnan Hamad

To say ungrateful would be euphemistic.
If it weren't for the global threat of radical muslims left unchecked getting their hands on WMDs, today and in the future (e.g. North Korea), we could say let them all kill each other in the desert sand...
