The game on Sunday really left me deflated, basically a speechless lump on the wall but with the help of friends and family I am back up on my feet ready to help push the USA into the knock out rounds. What the USA has already done to prove the "haters" wrong and succeed in the group of death is an accomplishment in itself but as a typical American...I want more : )

| Cheers! Lets go USA! |
For those of you who have had the pleasure of hearing me scream at the TV and jump up and down throughout the Cup, know that I am passionate about the apparent disrespect given to the CONCACAF teams. As a member of the region, we know how hard it is to qualify out of this group. We know difficult it is to beat Mexico in Mexico at crazy altitudes and 80,000 screaming fans...or how hard a road trip to Costa Rica can be...how physical Honduras games become and how a tiny country like Jamaica can still give you a run for your money. We as fans of CONCACAF know this, but for some reason Europe has been so pleased with themselves they didn't see us coming this World Cup!
Much praise to the Ticos of Costa Rica for beating the powers of Italy and Uruguay, and lets face it...probably England too! Hats off to Mexico (this is the only time that will happen from me haha) for representing strong against hosts Brazil and the likes of a tough Croatian team.
I am so happy that we as a region, have turned a page in the success and recognition of greatness in our part of the globe...good luck to you all in the upcoming games...but most importantly to the USA!
"Don't stop believing! Hold on to that feeling!" of scoring goals and taking names!
