I am interested in knowing why you are getting concessionary LOAs at this juncture. I would think, that on simple supply and demand, that your position would be strengthening each day as your captains blast off the top.

I do respect parents that volunteer to be soccer "coaches" (again, not really the right term). Not because there's anything validating about soccer, but because volunteering to organize and supervise a bunch of kids in anything is a Herculean effort.

Don't get me wrong, I would have loved the US to win that pathetic, uninspiring little participation trophy. Mostly so we could brag about it while not really giving a darn, and that's exactly what that "sport" deserves.

Funny thing is, once the US puts our minds to something, we're pretty much unbeatable. Even though its about as exciting as a game of Jenga, the US is casually getting into it. I bet in a decade or so we're the dominant nation.

But until then, there's two reasons to watch soccer: to roll our eyes at the nations that don't have a real national sport, and to be thankful we have all the great ones.
