Defeated. 🙁

I haven’t been following World Cup 2014 as closely as I would like, but saddened today by Belgium’s victory over the USMNT.

Humor helps, however. 

Also, today over at First Things even Colin Garbarino shared his thoughts on soccer.

I’ve heard so many Americans complain about soccer being boring. I’ve also heard those people complain that soccer players flop too much. Flopping, especially in the penalty area, might be the cure for boring soccer. . . . A “flop” is when a player tries to convince the referee that he was fouled. Players have to convince him because in soccer it’s nothing until the referee says it’s something. Referees have authority to interpret both the rules and the events on the field pretty much however they wish. I know that makes some of you football-instant-replay fanatics uncomfortable, but if you just accept that there’s no objective reality in soccer, I know you’ll be much happier.

LOL!
