USA out of World Cup. Underachievement or a Job Well Done?
Team USA beats out England for the top spot in Group C. An easy draw ahead. Ghana and Uruguay being the two countries stopping the USA from reaching the Final Four. A favorable draw. Finally, now the USA can rub it in all of Europes face that not only do they dominate baseball, basketball, and American football, they can also compete in football!
Then Ghana, the little country that could, stomped all over the US dream. "How the hell are we losing to some third world country no one has every heard of!?!?!?" shouted my friend I watched the game with.
Typical USA soccer, the US lets in a goal on a fast break in the first 5 minutes.
Then Landon Donovan, the newly deemed Great American Hope, crushes a penalty kick to send the game into overtime.
Then disaster strikes. Akin to Brady to Moss, A Ghana middy threads a beautiful pass over two American defenders and into the chest of the waiting Ghana striker. The striker drills a shot passed Tim Howard after almost 105 minutes of play.
Don't despair USA! The Summer Olympics are in 2 years and that means DREAM TEAM BASKETBALL!!! Oh wait, Wade, Stodemire, LBJ, and Kobe dont want to play in 2012.
