Hey Hey Goodbye...

So I really didn't believe that we were going all the way, no one did, but it was disappointing nontheless.

Flag clad, I joined a bar full of rowdy Americans ready for another victory, a come from behind upset.  With each beer, the crowd grew restless but remained hopeful.  Just like the other games before, America fought back to tie it up with the help of Landon.  With the game tied at 1-1 after the second half, fans were ready for 30 minutes of extra time.  With a bar full of Captain Americas and only 3 Ghana fans, it seemed anything other than a Yank victory would be impossible, that is unless America starts playing like a bunch of pansies...which they did.  Ghana scored early, this time there would be no comeback, no throwing beers, waving flags, or chanting Yankee Doodle.....goodbye World Cup.

It was the longest tube ride home, my stars and stripes cape drew looks of pity and snickering.  With America gone, I guess I'll have to cheer for my adopted country....England
