Maybe This World Cup Thing Ain't So Bad After All...

So long Frenchy. There is something almost poetic about the French national team being knocked out of the World Cup without even scoring a single goal while the US team only needs a tie to advance to the next round. France will now be racked with recriminations and anguish about the failure of their squad while the US will move on with almost no one here noticing or caring. We now enjoy more success than France in one of their main passions without even really trying. It is a beautiful thing.
