Hey, America! It was really nice of you to show your interest in the sport between the time the US qualified for the Final 16 until they were eliminated by Ghana (again). Really, I admire your “jumping on the bandwagon” mentality.

No, but seriously, it’s a shame – the U.S. mens soccer team deserves more encouraging and faithful fans. Yes, I know there are some of you out there, but let’s face it – when the boys come home, it’ll be to little fanfare. And I think the New York Post’s headline is just plain sad.

Anyways, as you can see, I am still full immersed in the World Cup. I’m still getting over my bitter breakup with the Italian team (that’s really the only way I can properly describe it), but I was quite pleased to see how well Germany and Argentina played. Definitely some of the most exciting games so far!
