Second that. Oz was remarkably strong and just got a bad break.
Although I love the game, I can understand why it is a non-event in this country. Firstly, we have no history of an established US team on a world level. Secondly, there is not enough scoring. The matches go on forever, and then bingo there's a goal (one goal), and you've got to wait another hour before the next goal. Then..it's a tie, and you've got to go to penalty kicks. That sort of low scoring, is never gonna fly here in the US..land of the impatient.
Big congratz to Italia. Zidane showed his ass, but he is one helluva player. Lucky he wasn't playing for Colombia. That would have been his last day on earth, never mind last match as a world cup player.
