Ghana has speed, so maybe Arena was going "conservative" for his line-up? Frankly the U.S. doesn't have a "star", that can make things happen. Just about every team that's advanced has at least one...Ballack (even though he's meh so far), Ronaldinjo, Figo, etc. Look, if we took soccer seriously (so to speak) and didn't have other sports to detract from it, like baseball, basketball, football, we'd be putting out a pretty good team every time. But seeing as the U.S. already has a monopoly on the Olympics, it's probably better to let the rest of the world not to have another reason to hate us and have their "futbol".
-
Ghana has speed, but the U.S. needs goals. They've attempted the least shots of any team and if it wasn't for that Italian, still probably wouldn't have a point. France was robbed. Nice scoop there.

Federer is 44-0 against players not named Nadal, and 0-4 against him (this year). Federer however, is practically unbeatable on grass, and that surface is to him what clay is to Nadal.
-
Italy's defense is better than the Czech Republic (if there was a weakness to exploit, that was it). At this point they'd better win both games and hope that Italy-CR is a draw to have a good chance of advancing. On another note, love the acting...the feigned expressions of pain even when it's a clean slide. Glad the refs don't fall for it.
-
The U.S. doesn't just need to "escape" the pool, they had better win it or else there's a good chance of facing Brazil in the Round of 16.
-
What caught my eye was that 536 or so had NONE of them right. That's like neither choosing favorites or the right upset picks.
-
Well UConn is in the same boat, as is Villanova, facing graduation or early-entry. You could have a different teams in the Final Four every year.
-
If Texas wins, they're going to monopolize college sports. Football. Baseball. Basketball. Burnt orange everywhere.
-
One team does not a conference make. Two, counting Florida? Yes it is going to be a freaking holiday at UNC.
-
Redick's never been in double-figures in scoring in the Sweet 16 or later. So, meh, take from that what you will. Maybe the animosity toward Redick will end when he leaves Duke. Maybe not.
-
That Duke is shooting twenty-some percent can't be ignored. Ugh, it's over.
-
Now it's a two-possession game. And oh crap, they got the rebound. Edit: AGAIN.
-
Running out of metals? I actually think they're cooler...a lot shinier than in past years, I think.
-
The men's hockey team wasn't the only one. The ladies didn't medal in practically...anything, none in speedskating, Lindsey Jacobellis' embarrassing blunder, Cohen disappointed. But Shaun White using his gold medal as a pick-up line is great. Bode Miller, what a bust.
-
Ouch. Looks like a lot of the figure skating pairs fell last night, and they were pretty nasty. Not to mention if one went down, she just about took her partner down too.
-
Adoration is a mild word considering his insane popularity. Imo, David Beckham is overrated, and he's more of the Kournikova of soccer than he is Jeter. He's never captain a team, not even as a schoolboy, and somehow SGE thinks he's the perfect for the job. Whatever. Getting ejected in the '98 quarterfinals. The U.S. probably can make it of its pool; hopefully Claudio Reyna recovers from his injury.
-
I really like the World Cup though. Maybe it's this skewered sense of nationalism, like the Olympics - "WE MUST WIN CURLING!". I mean normally who the fudge cares who can move the Romba-thing across the ice...but then it's this international competition and ya just CAN'T have China, Russia, or North Korea win (kidding...). That and what type of do Beckham sports, setting the int'l hairdo across every continent except the NA. (Waaaay overrated as a player, I'm glad if soccer doesn't catch on so that I don't have to see his face plastered on Pepsi). 2006 FIFA World Cup Draw: Group D: 1. Italy 2. Ghana 3. United States 4. Czech Republic Italy and Czech won't be easy.

Son of Colts' Tony Dungy found dead
YankeeDoodle replied to riverside sluggers's topic in Other Sports
At his son's funeral, Dungy talked labout how James looked forward to standing on the sidelines in Detroit with him. That had to make an impression on the Colts' players. -
^ Passing efficiency. (They only mentioned that every time Texas snapped of the ball)
-
Yeah Young's in pretty much the same situation (draft-wise), presumably, as he would be next year. Right now Bush is a "lock" for the number one pick, and it's a toss-up between him and Leinart for the first QB pick, but next year he might be competing w/ Brady Quinn. Not to mention some dude is probably going to pop on the radar from nowhere. Leinart stayed for his senior season, had better numbers, yet his stock is "lower" than it would have been had he gone.
-
Pasadena's Young's place, since he was the MVP last year too. It's the college game itself that's too long.
-
Lendale White's pretty good too. Heh, maybe SportsCenter was being too presumptous in comparing USC to all those "other great teams"; that they couldn't even beat their opponent this year, squashes all that talk.
-
I want Texas to win if only so the Big 12 can show its face after the last two years. And so they can stick it to Chokelahoma.
-
Moose, you call yourself a Bruin?
-
Quinn's been sacked twice and ND's offense is stalling. And they keep showing his sister/Hawk's gf on the screen.
