Righteous Anger

Sports aren't fair and neither is life. We all know this to be true. But sometimes we need to get angry about something. Everyone should be angry about the call that nullified the US goal vs. Slovenia. There simply is no excuse for this officiating. It was bullshit.

The US needs to stop falling asleep at the beginning of games. Its defense was caught flatfooted on its first goal and was beaten by a splendid counterattack on the second. The team did show tremendous grit and skill in its remarkable comeback. Landon Donovan's goal was among the best of the tournament.

All in all, the US finds itself in a decent situation. As long as it beats Algeria, the US team should have nothing to worry about.
