The high that I enjoyed while the US Soccer Team fought their way upstream to the top of their group came to an abrupt and painful end today as Ghana proved to be the better team, delivering a knockout blow to the US for a second consecutive World Cup... I'll continue to watch the games, of course, but it won't be the same knowing that the Stars and Stripes will have to wait at least four more years to prove to the world that we can produce a first-rate, world class team.
As sad as I am right now, I'm still very happy for the success that the US team did have, in overcoming the doubts, strong critics, and painfully egregious calls that they faced in the first round.
Standing tall this morning, singing the National Anthem out loud with a bar full of Team USA enthusiasts, I knew that win or loose, I was proud of this team, and I was proud to be American!
Thanks for the great show guys,
-Prost!
