BLOG: USA Soccer Choke

I think most of you know by now that I'm far from a soccer fan.  I would rather watch the Baltimore Orioles struggle on a nightly basis then watch the biggest of soccer matches.  Does that make me an idiot?  Maybe, but that's who I am.  Anyway I did get caught up a bit in the Women's World Cup which ended yesterday with Japan defeating the United States in penalty kicks.  I pretty much watched the whole game and what I saw was a US squad that absolutely dominated the Japanese team but couldn't put the ball in the net.  I think they hit three posts in the first half.  In my mind Japan didn't win this game, the US lost it.  Good news I can know go back to pretending the sport doesn't exist.
