US National Team Blows Options

[Coolboarders540]

That was a pathetic display of soccer today. Italy surpsingly won allowing the US to advance with a win. However, they all played like chickens without heads...except for maybe McBride (he's sooooo much fun to watch). This performance has left a sour taste in my mouth and makes me question the urge and determination of almost every player on the team.

Hey now, England isn't looking like the sharpest knife in the kitchen either. Plus they had a much easier grouping. They didn't score their first goal till the 2nd game vs who? Trinidad/Tabago. No excuses for why US wasn't scoring. I think the ref in the Italy game might have contributed though.

Anybody watch the Brazil/Japan game today? It was great, the ref just let them play. It also helped that the players weren't falling down from the fans cheering and acting like their lives were flashing in front of their eyes. I hate diving. There is a FIFA proposition that is in the works that will make any player that is injured or fakes an injury sit out of the game for 10 minutes, no substitutes either. I think this new rule could bring back the honor and dignity of the game. Too many frencn, italian, insert country here, player that, even if they are fouled, totally act it up. It should be about the sport, not about acting.
