A Good Cup for USA?

The Yanks have done well in Cup when they have gotten a gift goal.  They got an own goal by Columbia in 1994 (poor guy was literally hunted down by angry fans) in their 2nd group game, an own goal by Portugal in their first group game, and now, a gift goal by the English goalkeeper who turned an easy save into a USA goal.

After playing a very early (for us) morning basketball (almost every week for about 10 years now), we (my wife and son, Jayloc, Patrick, and Brian (Flying Elvi)) decided to watch the game at Red Robin's, where there was practically no one there.  We had the lovely viewing of several 27-inch non-flat screen non-HDTV TVs.    But it was fun and Spencer provided entertainment during the lull times in the game.

So the USA is off to a decent start, playing better as the game wore on.  Can't wait for the English tabloid to tear into the English team.  But still two winnable games left for both teams.  And, a great GK is key (thanks, Tim Howard) and why hopefully the Aussies will have a decent Cup.
