Doctor S has finally dragged himself out of the funk that the U.S. soccer team's World Cup performance put him in. The team actually played well for most of the last two games, but the refs screwed the Americans in the Italy game. Come to think of it, they screwed us in the Ghana game, too. The much-hyped U.S. squad now joins the roster of recent BIG DISAPPOINTMENTS that includes knucklehead Bode Miller, the 2004 U.S. men's Olympic basketball team, the 2006 U.S. World Baseball Classic squad and this year's Mississippi State baseball team. U.S. coach Bruce Arena sounds like he's ready to quit, although he's done a great job of making the U.S. one of the world's up-and-coming teams. Now the hot rumor is that the German team coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, who's a U.S. citizen and California resident, might replace Arena.
