I think Tim Howard is awesome, and it would have been a blowout if he had played anywhere near average.

I do not find setting a record for the most saves in a World Cup(tm) game to be anything other than a very dubious distinction. All that proves is that our defense sucks and let Belgium roll right in on our 18 yard line all day long.

It's like back in the day when the Mariners set record after record for turning the most double plays in a season...because they allowed a shitton more baserunners than any other team. When you allow a baserunner with less than two outs almost every inning you better set a record for turning double plays or you will lose 16-1 every game.

Same as kickers kicking six field goals in a football game...just proves your offense can't get in the endzone.

I enjoyed the WC this year, and watched all the games, including many of the games that didn't feature Team USA...a very, very busy work week kept me in the shop all day and the TV was there, too...so there ya go.

Fish on...
