It Was Really More Of A Whimper

It’s ok. I’m used to losing. I’ve been following the San Jose Earthquakes this season. This morning, in the first six minutes of play, Norway scored twice on the USA. And for the rest of the game, the US couldn’t get it together to fight back. I didn’t watch it BECAUSE I WAS ASLEEP (4am? hell to the no!). Here are your tourney results so far:

Group E:
China 2-1 Sweden
Canada 2-1 Argentina

Group F:
Germany 0-0 Brazil
North Korea 1-0 Nigeria

Group G:
Norway 2-0 US
Japan 2-2 New Zealand

It’s early, so our loss isn’t devastating. And I hope this crushing defeat is enough to light a fire in our asses so we take 3 points from Japan on Saturday. I’ll be back with game thoughts… if I ever find a replay.

Germany, Brazil, and the US all shut out in their first games. Interesting.

How horrible was the referee in the Japan Us game, clear cut penalty, pulled down in the box and he lets it go. The americans looked the poorer side and defended a poor goal that any other goalie would have safely covered. Guzan is the face of america, brutish, arrogant, and his little time wasting antics were despicable.

I’ve got one word for you Melissa — DVR/TiVo. Can you record any of the games?

And hooray for being in the eastern time zone! Finally I get to see soccer that I care about at a decent hour. It’s like breakfast at Wimbledon, except Olympic soccer instead. Just me, my coffee, and my two small children clamoring for kids’ shows.
