Ignoration
So that’s it... a 2-1 loss to Ghana and it’s suddenly all over.
Well not suddenly. After the first big blowout against Czech Republic it wasn’t a big surprise really.
The wait until 2010 is on.
Now here my list of the little things that could make you feel better about the U.S. elimination:
Czech Republic was favored to win the Group E, but they’re out.
Ghana will most likely follow up their U.S. victory with a smashing defeat to Brazil.
Larry Brown was fired, and Isiah Thomas is taking over as head coach while remaining team president. So the Knicks are guaranteed to suck for at least another year or two.
The Dallas Mavericks were screwed over by the NBA referees worse than Team U.S.A. was screwed over by the World Cup referees.
Ian and Julie are getting married.
That Gnarls Barkley song “Crazy.”
Logan hates puppies and loves B S Goldsmith.

That was depressing. At least I will always have those four seconds when the score changed to ITA 1-2 USA before being removed for an onsides penalty.
While the USA did not play like a winning team, we were screwed over in each game:
1) We were the only team to have to play the Czechs with Koller.
2) Those two ridiculous Red Cards in the Italy game
3) The terrible foul call in the box against Ghana (and Ghana will recieve no love from me against Brazil due to all of their agonizing flops)
2010 World Cup: South Africa. See you there.
Isiah Thomas is the Henri-Philippe Petain of the NBA.
