Agreed about 20 pounds ago. That hot spice girl is disappearing, although I would imagine Beckham isn't exactly a one woman type of guy. Nothing made me happier watching him lose though. I just wished the US could field a better team.

I make no excuses for the US team. They played the likely WC winner to a tie. They should have put in a better effort.

As other country's try other sports US soccer will come around before long. Now more athletes are playing other sports such as basketball to become a great world athlete in other sports.
