Well…that wasn’t too bad…the match ended up in a 0-0 draw when England was supposed to beat us 4-0…..so I’ll take it…and we are left with having to win against Iran on Tuesday afternoon and I am excited to see that one….and it was a good game with lots of chances on both sides….but I think we played better than them…at least we didn’t lose today and that is a massive plus with the third youngest team in the tournament….and now we have Michigan vs Ohio State tomorrow to worry about…it’s tough being a sports fan…

So far, so good…
Well…just a shorty on the ongoing US/England match….it’s 0-0 at the half but it has been a good match so far with us getting some good chances…I think even better than England and Pulisic rattling one off the crossbar so close to going in that I jumped off the couch…if they keep playing well and I do that again, I’ll probably hurt myself…wouldn’t that be funny….okay, second half coming up…back later with good or bad news….if we win today, all we have to do is tie Iran Tuesday….fingers crossed…
No on Syria…
Well…with all of the wrangling that is being done on whether or not to attack Syria, I think we need to remember the results of our interventions over the past 20 years or so…in no particular order, just as I think of them…starting with Iraq…after a trillion dollars and thousands of Americans dead, along with hundreds of thousands of Iraqis…we still have half failed state with hundreds of people dying every day and little prospects for it to be better…then we have Libya….one of the places that seem to have fallen off the media’s map lately…a completely failed state with gangs of terrorists killing and maiming at will since the central government doesn’t have the power to do anything about it…Afghanistan…outside of the American controlled areas, the Taliban and other warlords are still in control and are just waiting for us to leave so they can re-impose their crazy brand of Islam on the country and continue to murder women and children….do I need to go on? I think sometimes we just need to let things play out and not play world police…these folks have been killing each other for thousands of years before the US even existed and there is nothing anyone has ever been able to do to make them stop….geez…
