I have to give the USA soccer team credit, they played one hell of a game against the Italians to keep their hopes of advancing in the World Cup alive. The officiating was absolutely atrocious. The US got two red cards in the game, and the Italians got one. By the end of the game, the US team only had 9 players on the pitch, as opposed to ten for our opponents.
But even with 9 guys, the US was able to hang tough and keep the game tied 1-1 even though they were visibly tired as the match came to a close. Now its on to face Ghana, who stunned everyone by beating the Czechs, who creamed the US last week 3-0. For team USA to move on, the have to beat Ghana, while the Italians defeat the Czechs. The is basically the only practical way for us to get out of our group.
I think we can do it. I didnt think for a minute that we would be able to tie the Italians after our performance against the Czech Republic. But they did, even with an inept and worthless referree. Both games of importance for us are Thursday, and I cannot wait. I hope all of you who can will watch it, because we should support team USA. By the way, I dont want to get ahead of myself, but if the scenario I mentioned above works out, the US would have to play Brazil in the second round. Eeeeeeeek. But lets take care of Ghana first. GO USA!
One more quick thing....
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

The ref obviously had it out for the Americans, as he couldn't wait to start handing out red cards. He must've either been of Italin decent or practice some sort of extreme Muslim religion.
