USA vs Ghana

It is good for Ghana and the Africans. They are likely celebrating.

We go back to looking forward to REAL football.

In Italy and France they are still seething. They are crying about firing their coaches. In the USA we are crying, who is the coach?

More people know who Landon Donovan is. But the rest of the team is still anonymous. And most people will likely forget who Donovan is soon enough.

In France and Italy most of the country knows all of the players and can debate the relative merits of strikers and middle backs.

Americans don't know what those are.

We have a little more awareness of world futbol now. But we barely care.
