US v Slovenia

Easily the best game of the tourney, with the US showing it was a much better team in the end. I was embarrassed after being down 2-0 at halftime, but then yanks did what the yanks do best. The question remains which is the most talented team in the WC, maybe Argentina, Holland, or Brazil. But there is no question which team has the most heart, and that's the yanks. I don't think its possible to be more proud of a team that represents America. So many teams would and have fallen apart after being down 1 or 2 goals, but not the US. Should the US manage to make into the next round, they are one of the last teams anyone would want to play.

"The Call" -the second worst call in WC history, right behind the maradona hand of God call. Bottom line is that our squad needs to get over it and realize the difference between things you can control and things you cannot. We cannot control the refs, but we can control not going down 1-0 early in every game.

One of the worst parts about "the call' is that it takes away from such a brilliantly designed and even more brilliantly executed set piece. -the fact that the Americans can execute such a high level play has teams shaking in their boots.
