Time to go home....


Well it's the end of another disappointing World Cup for the USA. Somehow still we can't seem to put the ball in the back of the net. This seems to be the team's biggest problem and has been for some time. The match vs Ghana and the previous one against Italy were both rife with controversial officiating. Why is it impossible to get a consistent ref? Now I understand why FIFA asked the refs to be tough but, they are not supposed to decide the outcome of the matches. This World Cup has been a perfect example of this with cocky refs trying to make a name for themselves and ruining the matches. It didn't help that the US drew easily the toughest group in the Cup.
Hopefully, the USA can dump the coach and start rebuilding a winning team free from the emphasis on young players. We need experienced international players......not mostly MLS players that don't play top flight teams nor play on regulation fields!
