Well, That Sucked...

After years and years of not giving a lick about soccer, I have to admit I became a bit of a fan these last few weeks.  It was pretty exciting to see lots of Americans make the same discovery I did: It's actually pretty awesome.  The running those guys do is pretty insane and they are athletes even more so than football players, in my opinion. Imagine someone like Haloti Ngata, running back and forth on a field for 90 minutes.  I'm not thinking he'd be able to.  

But as cool and exciting as it's been, it seems the party is over for the Americans.  After 2 straight hours of playing their hearts out, the Belgians were able to beat the US 2-1.  So depressing!  I'm not sure if Soccer does the whole MVP thing, but if they do, Tim Howard deserves the title more than any other goal-keeper ever!  He may have given up 2 goals, but the number he prevented was 5 times that.  He's a pretty amazing guy and it was neat to see him get the love on social media, that he's been deserving.

Of course now that the US is out, even though Soccer isn't as boring as I once thought, I'm probably done watching it.  But, I'm proud our boys!  Go USA!!
