!@#$%^& %^&*!

Not gonna talk about the US game. Planning on giving a detailed overview of why the US is a second-class team later. However, I will say this, despite my dreams of being in RSA right being dashed as I'm stateside, it's nice to know most of my friends haven't changed. I've been on facebook a little bit since June 11. Okay, more in the last few weeks than since Carla and Faith talked me into opening an account in like '07(?), but that's not the point. The point is things haven't changed and I'm relieved that approximately half my friends still root for US's downfall, especially for what can be considered a moral victory for Africa. Lots of games still to go, hopefully Germany will send England packing. None of the walls have holes in them. The sun will rise tomorrow. It's a good thing I'm not overly dramatic. An amusing tidbit from a friend of mine:

Any sport where grown men sit around drinking beer to watch younger men plow into each other, catch balls, and constantly hug, slap and make physical contact with each other is just as "gay" really. American football seems to be the worst however. Fat geezers cheering for college boys with almost militant hate for anyone who tries to oppose them as if to help protect their beloved players from being owned, raped, or destroyed by the opponents. Ah...sports.

And congratulations Ghana, you deserved that win!
