As of this writing, the United
States soccer team has been eliminated from the 2014 World Cup competition. This
leaves the usual futbol suspects like Germany and Brazil to stomp each other’s
toes in a quest for glory, and it means Americans can officially go back to not
caring about soccer. We can feel relieved about this since, as I understand it,
the World Cup matches will continue for at least the next eight months (with
additional time added, depending on penalties and injuries) – or maybe it just
feels that long.
