Easy listening
National Public Radio's All Things Considered on Friday had a quick three-minute interview with Wall Street Journal sportswriter Stefan Fatis (whom I would not describe with yesterday's coyote ugly metaphor) over the USMNT's chance in the World Cup. The site also lists a nice group of stories they've done about soccer in the US over the past two years.
Fatis neatly brushed aside anchor Robert Siegel's comment that there's just no excitement building up for the World Cup in the U.S., and gave what I thought is a very good estimate of the USMNT's true position in the world at the moment, and what its chances are in the Group of Death.
Currently watching the Houston/Dallas game on ESPN2, and once the ankle injury knocked out DeRosario, I lost all hope for that cannon going to Houston. Ouch.

The irony is that it's the moderate fans who know it's happening but don't know much else that are the most excited. The die-hards are just looking through their fingers awaiting bloody carnage. :(

You said it. Those of us who love the USMNT, we love our Boys, but we love them for real, which makes us scratch our heads and say, "4th in the world, who are you kidding?" I have great hopes that vacilate between "We could possibly show everyone and kick some mighty ass" and "Please don't let us choke miserably, as we are wont to do often."
