Even with the ties.
The American team, however, played like a bunch of gutless chumps. The "best" players on the team avoided putting the ball anywhere near the goal. When they inadvertently found themseles with the ball near the goal, they passed to someone who didn't have a shot. Landon Donovan? I saw his name and number on a jersey that ran around on the grass, but the rest of him failed to show up. They should have pulled a Spain and replaced all 11 starters with 11 other guys. Couldn't have been any worse of a result.
I'm disgusted with the US team.
Soccer requires passion, will, heart, guts... and a solid command of physical comedy, since you must be able to take a dive when anyone comes near you.
Ah, Soccer. Futbol. I'm so glad I'm incapable of playing anymore. Bad back, you know.
