A Couple World Cup Thoughts

Well, not bad from the US if you saw the game. They played with the heart that you want from the guys, and played up to England's level. Nice first game, and the draw, despite the awful goal, was deserved. That was the average game for them, and likely a bad and good game to come, unless we truly have grown.

England looked rough, but that's a good sign; the eventual champions always start slow. A few of their big questions have been answered, even though they know that the goalie and the right midfield choice were the wrong one. Their manager will get the ship righted, make the team adjustments they need, and I think make at least the semi-finals. Few will say it but I feel it was very positive for England!
