Finally a couple of gringo players worth writing about! God it's about time the US team has hotter players than "shaggy + jesus lovechild" Aleixi Lalas and "valderama meets Animal from the muffets" Cobi Jones. Claudio Reyna signaled the first changes and gave us hope that the US team was heading in the right direction. Now Carlos Bocanegra showed the world that the USA had more to offer than a bad president and junk food. Born in Mexico, Bocanegra poses a compelling argument for immigration reform...we NEED MORE guys like him jumping the border and joining the US team.
Unfortunately, one hottie cannot sustain a team. The US elimination clearly showed us that all the money, power, technology, fancy coaches, newly naturalized players, and all the sponsorship in the world is no match against the mighty superpower of Ghana. GHANA gano.
