Happy to be here
Michael Davies has been keeping a journal about the World Cup for ESPN’s Page 2. Today’s entry was about how awful he felt about England and the US going out in the quarterfinals. It contained this lovely bit of writing about the US and its new-found respectability in the futbol world:
The game ends. 1-0 to Germany. Landon Donovan looks like he’s crying, perhaps he thinks it’s his fault, like Seaman, but it isn’t. That young man has signaled his arrival, as has his team on the world stage. And how does the U.S. team know it’s arrived at the top table? The Americans just got their hearts broken by the Germans after outplaying them. Welcome to the glorious world of international football, America.
