Semper Fi

Word has it that Arena showed the players some photos and footage of Marines in Iraq. If that doesn't get them fired up, nothing will. Then again, they were pretty fired up against the Azzurri and they finished with nine men - and no, it wasn't the ref's fault (although that's what ESPN would have us believe). I may be misinformed, but apparently W suggested that Arena pour some oil in Ghana's goal and let the players go after it.
