I still can't believe it

Let's all laugh at these guys.

Then let's thank Brasil for getting the job done.

After my last post, I called Coach Bradley's coaching decisions into question. I was specifically concerned with his personnel choices. Shortly after that post, my point was validated with an absolutely sad performance against Brasil. Then somehow we turned it all around against Egypt. The player selection was a little better against Egypt, but the main difference was our heart. We finally brought it out onto the field for a match. The stats showed it too. Our players ran more and finally connected on a significant number of passes.

Our reward for a great escape out of our group is a match against the world's current best team, Spain. That means in a one week period, we'll have played 3 of the top 5 teams in the world. Not bad at all. We'll also get to play the host S. Africa, assuming Brasil beats them and Spain beats us. Seems like we'll get a lot of good competition out of this tournament.
