Nobody can choke when it counts like the Atlanta Braves.
Except for the US National Soccer Team
How else can you explain the 5th ranked team in the world only scoring 1 goal in the opening round?
Yeah, the refs in the last two games were awful, but that doesn't explain Landon Donovan's cosistently bad play. Out of position, sloppy passes, and truly horific corner kicks characterized his entire World Cup.
How do explain McBride choosing to head the ball out of the box in stoppage time instead of shooting on goal?
How do you explain Bruce Arena leaving his ineffective lineup out ifor 15 minutes in the scond half, down 2-1?
Like I said, they choked big time. Oh well, the Women's World Cup is coming soon; they, at least, know how to win.
Congrats to Ghana for making it out of the group of death into the round of 16.
