Go USA... ?

USA leaves it late to qualify.

Donovan = US Hero.
  • Donovan = US Hero.

I know the phrase 'GO USA' is not a popular one around these parts; but yesterday's game was a reason why we all love the World Cup - not because we love the USA, but because we love drama.

USA facing elimination against Algeria, score a goal in the 91st minute (virtually the last kick of the game) to advance to the next round of the World Cup:

It's a good thing Bill Clinton is not president anymore, because he was so excited after the game, that he decided to stay in South Africa longer. That means that he won't take part in these awesome celebrations in the streets of America:

Survey Asks

Do you agree with Halifax's school board cutting 152 teachers?

  • Yes, the board needs to meet its shrinking budget.
  • Only if managers and bureaucracy get a similar cut.
  • I don't care, I support the private education system.
  • No, giving young citizens the best education is too important to cut.

I'd love to see the U.S. take the world cup. Not gonna happen ,I know, but what an awesome Fuck You Back that would be to the rest of the world.
And Kiyan, last time I checked sports teams don't tend to set their nation's policies, foreign or domestic. So unless you really want to be mistaken for a quebecer or a member of Black September, don't use athletes as a focus for your nationalistic bigotry. Keep reaching for that rainbow

I like the American soccer team because they aren't pussies like those Italians. It's great to see players that don't use fake injuries as an actual strategy game after game.
