Today, the USA soccer team faces Algeria in the World Cup. The US is favorite to win and to advance. Algeria hasn't yet scored a goal this World Cup. But the USA team can not take Algeria for granted. Stranger things have happened in these World Cup games. First of all, a goal and a game was stolen from the US team by the dumb call of a referee. I heard that he has since been suspended. Major teams, powerhouses in past World Cup games are either under performing or performing poorly. France has been eliminated and England, Germany, Spain and Italy, the defending champion, are in danger of being booted out. If the USA team wins, the US advances to the next round. A tie may put us into the next round, if England, which has not been performing well, does well against her opponent, Slovenia. What the US needs is a win, not a tie. The USA team should win.
Go USA. Win!
