World Cup Part 2


I coach my sons' soccer team. It's the Rising Star FC Micro Team, ages 4-6 years. They play with more energy and aggression than the US played with today.

It's not even that we got beat by a really good team -- it's that there was no sense of urgency. No attacking, no speed -- the USA team's greatest strengths never capitalized on. Beasley didn't attack, Donovan wasn't served, Convey's crosses were horrible, Pope didn't mark -- it was rough.

By the way, Rosicky is the man. Those goals were incredible. Nedved ruled the midfield. I think the Czech Republic could beat Brazil if they attack the way they did today.

On to Italy.
