Let the girls have a try.

It was to my delight that the USA was eliminated from the FIFA 2010 World Cup yesterday. The side that had the pleasure of destroying the hopes and crushing the dreams of the USA was our African Brother's Ghana. This makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, as I do not like the American "Soccer" team and if you compound that with the fact that they were beaten by an African side it makes for a good day by my standards. I do admit that I have a strong tendency to dislike most things that have to do with our "Mc" friends, so often I will over look the positive contributions that the USA gives to the world. In my defense I must say it is quite difficult to find these "Positive contributions".

With their recent exit from the World Cup the USA must be feeling pretty darn bummed. They have to wait another four years until they can finally have some sort of "lime light" placed on their "Soccer". You never know they could have David Beckham playing for them by then. The USA population should force Bob Bradley and his troop of men to take some pointers from the Women's Soccer team, as they have won two World Cup Trophies, the first in 1991 and the second in 1999. Another impressing statistic is that since FIFA paid attention to the Girls game the USA has not finished lower then 3rd. I really think Bob Bradley and his staff should have taken a few pointers from the ladies.

One American Soccer star that can't help it but jump out at you is Heather Mitts. This fine lass managed to rack up 108 appearances for her national side. Due to the fact that she is a defender, she only managed to muster 2 goals in her international career. She was popular amongst coaching staff and selectors for her hard working and never say die attitude. She was popular amongst male supporters as she is quite the belter. She has won multiple awards, most of which have nothing to do with soccer. She was voted the Hottest Female Athlete by ESPN in 2004 and appeared in the 2005 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. It's not hard to see why this girl has received so much attention during her career. Maybe she could help old Bob iron out a few of the men's teams set pieces at practice. It probably wouldn't work seeing that Landon Donovan might get a little Distracted
