What I like about soccer is that you can see the players in their real shape, not wrapped up in matrasses, pads, helmets and other furniture ( specially when they are wink worth looking at ). Yes, U.S was doing vey well for a country that considers soccer is for sissies.

About language: Once more it is funny to remark that a winning teams is referred to as "we". When they lose they directly become "they". I heard someone say "I". "I prefer to play against a team like.... " He was a spectator, not a player.
