The ref points to the spot and that's all folks!

I have taken appropriate measures, beginning with a call
to the office cancelling classes today. I'm healthy and
un-hungover but I simply to not wish to see anyone today
or hear their comments on last night's match. I may stay
in all day and blog or read. A replay has started and
I will go there first.

However I think a latin american greeting at the airport
with tomatoes for the team would be a step forward for
USA soccer, if only just to prove that we care. In Costa Rica
fans booed the team on arrival yesterday. One fan held
a sign: NOW HIRING: COFFEE PICKERS - ONLY REQUIREMENT:
LACK OF SHAME
