[QUOTE]Originally posted by DT: [QB] Okay, let me call Lee on this one. Now, as some of you know, I'm no patriot. My philosophy towards the ole Stars and Stripes is that I smoke solely so I can have a lighter to burn the damn thing at any time (for those of you intellectually challenged, that's called hyperbole). But let me stand up for the USA (football suddenly makes me patriotic). Why is it that when we get into the Round of 8 we're lucky? Last time I checked, the rules of football were simple. The team with the most goals wins. Oooh, Portugal didn't come out until the second half. Yes, and we came out for both. Thus, we won. Oooh, Portugal deserved to advanced. Why? We beat them, we drew with South Korea (who beat them). They only beat Poland. Last time I checked, three points is less than four. We deserved to advance. Oooh, Mexico played poorly. And we didn't. Thus, we won. And we EARNED it. Football may always be a minor league sports in the states, and will NEVER be as important to us as helmet football. But whether you like it or not, US football is here this World Cup. Portugal learned that the hard way, and so did Mexico. They're lucky, sure, but they're also damn good. We probably don't have a chance in hell against Germany, but we've still gotten farther this year than England did in 98, so maybe we can at least get some respect. [/QB][/QUOTE]
