HUMBLED. That's the word. You prepare,
you psyche yourself up for a big moment,
you say you believe and you dream like
everyone in the world that your team is
going to stand up and play a great game
and insteads it all collapses like a
pile of cards before your eyes. First
the Japanese and then us. The real wailing
is on the US forums on www.bigsoccer.com
so you can go there for that. I'll add
some technical points later. My own fault
was going into Blarney Stone to watche the
game singing and scarving it up. Kevin and
another yank joined me but it didn't stop
some late celebrating Aussies from getting
in our faces and messing with us after we went
down early and it was obvious we were going
to lose. Mea culpa.
