Escaping an Upset is Not a "Miracle"

It's funny how the American media is celebrating ther soccer team's 1-0 victory over Algeria.

They escaped being upset by the second-lowest ranked team in their group, and they all think it was USA vs. USSR in hockey all over gain.

Managing to avoid an early exit like Italy is not a "miracle". These idiots should get over themselves. If Donovan was any sort of superstar, this should have been a squash match like Portugal vs. North Korea. The fact that they needed 91 minutes to get it done speaks more "incompetent" than "world beater".

A little perspective goes a long way.

  2. Its just annoying. They're expected to win against Ghana too, but the adulation if they win a mere 1-0 again will be excruciating.
