I admit that I’m a bit cynical but should we be surprised by this? I live here and remember the last World Cup when we had it stuck to us in the U.S. game. The short answer to this question is, WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO WIN! Heck we were there to fill out the numbers. Uruguay discounted us, kept out their best player and lost. The Italians thought we were slack and the ref. was ……..well, the less said the better about that. They lost too. Next the English are out. We should not be over-confident. There are three teams on the pitch on Tuesday, C.R. ENG. and the refs. By the way, I’m using my wife’s account at the moment. I’ll set up my own today.
