USA wins thrilling match and Sportscenter reports LT's rape

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah - actually I don't think there's anyway at all you can think that LT's rape is a bigger story than the US team right now.

USA team on top the list and LT not in top 10

Do you even follow the WC? Honestly. US advancing wasn't "expected". They fought their way to qualifying first in the group. That's an accomplishment.

They weren't underdogs either, just a pretty even battle against Slovenia, the fact that they did it first (over England) was the unexpected thing.

In the US the belief was that not advancing was a complete failure for this team.

Well given that their fate was tied with England's, not advancing was a very real possibility. Though I suppose if a team is going to succeed at this they obviously have to set their sights high.

Americans weren't crowding bars/restaurants or being allowed to leave work and/or have tv's and computers tuned into espn to hear about LT paying a 16 year old to sex him.

I will be honest, the last time I cared about soccer was during the last world cup and only after the US had won several games and there was a little buzz about it. The time I cared about it before that was in the winter season in the GRAYSA league in 1991.

The last time I read an article about soccer was one that bill simmons wrote last year, the time before that was an article in which I was mentioned as playing tenacious defense in a game back in 1988 in the randolph news paper.

I would, however, rather read and watch stories about this win than I would care about LT and his disgusting move.
