WORLD CUP!

Everyone has to be excited about this thursday!!! But why the excitement? Well, after the US squad surprised the world in 2002 by making it the entire way to the world cup semi-finals, the US media played the 2006 games up big! The US team came out and completely stunk in their first game of group play, getting embarrased by the Czech Rep 3-0. Lucky for the rest of the group, the US managed to injure the Czech's best player, Koller. The US came out the next game against Italy and played to a 1-1 draw, playing a large portion of the game one man down due to terrible officiating! For the US to make it back to sigle elimination play we have to beat Ghana, who managed to be the Czech Rep. 2-0, but with out their best player, Koller! Meanwhile, this is Ghana's first ever World Cup. Their team is full of youth who have won major junior international tournaments, but never on the premier level! For the US to save our dignity we need to beat Ghana and Italy needs to beat Czech Rep. who now have another one of their best players injured.

The game will be shown thursday at prime time!
