wow .. what an awful cup for the u.s. arena is just terrible .. how can you wait until the 60ith minute to realize that we need players in there who can score? this better be his last year as coach. judging by the way beasley and donovan played, it makes me wonder if he has the same effect on younger players as dusty. the lone bright spot of the wc, at least offensively, was beasley's steal and assist to dempsey, which, as i saw it, was a purely instinctive "soccer" move .. something he reacted to rather than thought about. i dunno .. now i'm just rambling. oh, and these games in the world cup are averaging 5 yellow cards a game?! what, is c.b. bucknor reffing soccer now too? i was unbelievably pissed at that pk opportunity, but it turns out it didn't matter at all. we still couldn't score. i guess we won't finish 32nd this year, but i bet (with our goal differential) we'll be very close....
