I wish I could say I wish it were otherwise, but I can't. Poland blew
us out of the water, and if it wasn't for your red cards, we'd be in
your shoes now. But you have my sympathy.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I didn't know anything about this
"dream team". I just knew Portugal was one of the toughest teams to
beat, and that we had somehow managed to do so.

In that case, may the best team be USA! (Not that I expect they will,
but one can always hope...) I stayed up until 6am watching that
debacle. I'm just glad Korea won, since we couldn't seem to manage
it. I'm just glad Poland didn't play like that against Portugal and
Korea, or we'd all be in trouble.
