An American Debacle in Germany...

Wow, what a disappointing showing for the U.S. Men’s National Team today against a vastly superior Czech Republic side.  I was at work and tried to avoid hearing the score, but I had a feeling that the Americans performed poorly and a quick glance at the news headlines told me just how poorly.  I watched the first few minutes (thanks Dish DVR) when I got home and that was enough for me.  A Three-Nil thrashing... Not a good way to start the World Cup campaign.  In hindsight (20-20 as usual) we should’ve seen it coming.  The disappointing loss to Morocco, the hammering administered by the Germans, the draw with Jamaica, and the less than spectacular wins over Venezuela and Latvia should have prepared us for what was to come.  The team better experience a dramatic change-of-heart and soul searching between now and Saturday’s date with the Italians or the stay at the 2006 World Cup will be quite short.  I daresay, it looks like three and out for the Red, White, and Blue.
