Yeah, its a win, and now I HAVE to watch the next game.
Even if we lose. Its like crawling through the desert and finding a glass of water.
The sip wont save you, but fuck it, its enough to get you to the next day.
And then, who knows?
USA USA USA!!!!!!!!!

I loathe all team sports. Who cares if you can kicK a ball? Behind every sport, there is a sublimated urge to punch a dude in the mouth.
Americans, endowed with rugged individualism, ought only enjoy track, wrestling and boxing.

Enjoy, and I don't blame you. But I'm with Citizen; we're no better in reality, just that old saw "any team can win on any given day". And the "world" isn't celebrating, just America, so to call it the "world's reaction" makes me sick.
Hey, like I said: Enjoy. I got no complaints; anything that makes anyone feel good for just a few minutes is gravy far as I'm concerned right now. Just offering perspective.
Along with which I might note that America's got a ton of MONEY to dump into building a soccer team; some other countries, not so much. It matters in the Olympics, I imagine it matters here, too. Just sayin'.

AND...... I hate hippies. For this and for so much else.
What? Did money make them stronger? Faster? Better?
I think they have tests for steroids in the World Cup.
Soccer, unlike a lot of other sports, can be played with just a ball and some posts.
But whatever. If they win the whole thing or don't, its a ray of light in an otherwise dark time.
And for that little bit, Im grateful.

Like I said: Enjoy to your heart's content. I think it's great there's something for people to feel positive about!
But let's not argue about the fact that money DOES buy superiority, like high-class trainers, facilities, scholarships and much, much more.
I'm sure not that much has been put into soccer (yet), but it's a fact. The payoff is pretty damned good, and worth it.

And that's just the group stage. You've got the rollercoaster of the knockout stages ahead, and a favourable draw (you somehow topped the group and get to face Ghana then Uruguay/S.Korea, instead of England's Germany and then Argentina
)Heads should roll

Wulf: They can buy better players for the team, in fact I think most of our players on the USA team are European. I'd have to check though.
But they are underdogs, simply because they're the American team, and it's their first time. I don't think it matters what nationality they are originally, it's like hiring a gladiator to fight in the colosseum, or a mercenary to fight in a war. Your money paid for them, they're ostensibly representing you.
