Minute 90

This one is pretty much over. Italy will win the group, thanks to their 2-0 win over the Czechs (a real disappointment in this tourney). Ghana will finish second & will likely face Brazil in round 2, making them this year's African surprise. The US will finish last, with one solitary (but heroic) point. Sad but true.

And it's a final from Nuremberg. Not only did the breaks not go the Americans' way, but Donovan and Beasley, the two young stars, were both huge disappointments in this tourney. Full recap coming later.

Well, that was cute.

Way to go, Americans. You actually scored a goal.

In related news, real football season is only a few months away.

It goes from bad to worse for our resident Knicks fan: Isiah in, US out.

The US can make a case that they got jobbed by the ref, but they just weren't good enough. Period.

Now the nation can forget about soccer for the next four years. Not me, but all the same, let's go Iggles!
