I dunno about the better team. The second half we dominated, the first half they dominated. They got lucky in extra time with that ball that bounces just right, and then they start taking dives and the ref allows it. Only 3' of extra time? Should've been at least 4', and one or two of those dives needed a yellow.

I think we need a better coach. Bradley continues to put the wrong players in and has to make early subs.

Overall though, a great run to be proud of. Things are starting to look up. 2002 was good, 2006 was meh, 2010 was good, 2014 could easily be another good year for us.

2002 was way more than great. 2002 was way beyond my wildest dreams. 2002 they outplayed Germany and lost, but that happens in soccer. 2006 was freakin' crap.

This time was OK. Actually it was a wee bit better than OK, but that is the way the ball bounces.

coaches are supposed to be the ones who drill players to keep them from constantly giving up goals in the first 10 minutes.

Good luck at the games BTW.

Also if the ref deems a tackle to be dangerous, even if the ball was contacted first, a foul can be given. The simplest way to tell the difference is generally anything that goes through the player to get the ball or is from behind is a foul.

I'm thinking of getting back to playing Ultimate. I got started riding to train for Ultimate, and then just kinda stopped playing because I enjoyed riding. Now that I'm not enjoying riding as much anymore I think I might go back to Ultimate and just use riding for training for a while.

There's a pickup game at 2:30 today (every Sunday) about 10 minutes from me. I'm probably gonna go see how I am. I bet my disc handling is pretty poor, but I don't know how long it will take to come back.

I really love the game, I just don't know how well my knees will hold up.

Watching England v Deutschland, up early for a circuit race.

Btw I like how Rooney looks like your average hooligan, yet can actually play.

Kind of bummed I couldn't go to U23 nats. I race (and beat) two of the guys who were in the RR break yesterday in the collegiate season.

I talked to Cheyne Hoag's uncle yesterday. He crashed in the last lap of the U23 crit and had his bike cut in half.

They gave him a neutral support bike for the RR and he finished 4th. He's happy again.
