4-5-1 MY ASS

What a loser. How dare you come out in a 4-5-1 when you know you have to score goals and WIN the game? One striker Bruce? It was working so well for you in the previous two games, I don't understand what happened. We hadn't even scored one goal for ourselves and I think we had one shot on goal up to that point. Waiting till the 60th minute to put in Eddie Johnson and later Bobby Convey? Nevermind the fact Johnson should have started the game with him and McBride in a 4-4-2, why does he not immediately start the second half? Why do you look like a monkey? Why do you look like the guy who owned Studio 54 and died of AIDS (what was his name)? WHY, WHY, WHY???

All right, now that I got that out, Arena did do alot for US Soccer, but he pissed it all away in two weeks. Eight years is way too long for one coach. His roster decisions were questionable at best. Maybe if we have Taylor Twellman, one of the leading goal scorers in the MLS, we put a couple more in the net and have some results. Clint Dempsey, our lone goal scorer who also plays his club ball in the MLS, proved to be the best player on the team. Enough about the team and the coach. Until 2010............via con dios.

One more thing, WE GOT SO FRIGGIN HOSED BY THE REFS! The fix was in. I know we're not exactly loved by all the other countries in the world, but did they have to make it so obvious. I thought I was watching the NHL with all the goddamn penalties (and phantom penalties) that were called. According to BBC Sports World Cup Statistics:

In 42 games there have been 212 yellow cards and 14 red cards with a 5.05 yellow card to game ratio. Que ridiculo!

I'm exhausted.

Later.
