Costa Rica 3 - US 1

This could be the most off topic post, ever! I Some of you may be asking what am I talking about, but I guess at least one or two of you did watch the game (at least the first minute and a half, before our first goal, HA!).

I think the game showed a superior home team, but that's not even close from meaning Costa Rica is a superior team overall. I think we're a great home team, played very offensively (more than expected), and had a good scheme and game plan. U.S.A. was a bit lost, felt the pressure not only in the first minutes of the game but before, when they entered the stadium; they just couldn't handle it. I was a very big mismatch in that sense. It was funny seeing Landon Donovan's ritual before shooting the penalty kick, and even in this kind of games he shows he's a heck of a player and a leader. In conclusion, United States is still a better team than Costa Rica, but we proved we are for real and a serious contender for participating in the World Cup. FIFA should give us a boost in the next rankings...

What do you think? Don't worry, I expect a lot of "I don't care" replies, lol.

GO COLTS! =)

It's not that I don't care

about football, it’s that caring about the US football team is pointless, always has been.
