Am I expecting an impossible perfection when it comes to watching the US not deserve their tie versus the 2002 South Korean World Cup Team? My first reaction is to stop watching US “Soccer,” because I find it too frustrating to watch them kick to no one in particular, to lose control of the ball, to simply play at an embarrassingly amateur level. I put soccer in quotes because US “Soccer” is not real Football. They are lucky to have tied the South Koreans. They are lucky to have beaten Portugal. I do expect too much from Team USA and I apologize for my frustrated fervor. I will only reserve it for first, my beloved Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers, Philadelphia Eagles, Philadelphia Flyers, and Philadelphia Phillies.
