 It's an OLD saying meaning that we are not supposed to WIN but lose by a
close score. But by getting a little luck we end up wining. So far the
luck has broken both ways as far as own goals and blown sure goals. Maybe
it's our turn to get a Senegal type goal. I HOPE ;)
 The players & coach have done more then any of us ever thought they
would. Drawing Mexico in the round of 16 was Sweet. They spent the game
trying to get us a man down and forgot to kick the ball in the net. Any
other team with that much possession would have spent more time trying to
scoring and less fighting. They gave up after the second goal. Pure &
simple, they choked. One PK for a "Hand Ball" still makes it 2-1 US.
