It's early days, but not looking good for the USA. A 3 - 0 defeat against the Czech Republic earlier today. Is there much enthusiasm for the tournament in the US?

In England about 1/4 of the cars (and quite a few bikes) are flying English flags, and virtually every pub is covered in red and white.

Our next game is at 5pm on Thursday - I'm fully expecting to get a call telling me that the meeting I'm due to attend has been postponed for some reason

(Actually I have a bit of a soft spot for the USA as your goalie used to play for my team - Leicester City).
