The US Advance

The fact that the US came out of a tricky group in first place, despite the impediment of two key goals being wrongly disallowed, despite going into injury time on the verge of elimination, is really something to celebrate. And I don't want to get ahead of myself, but it would likely be the semifinals before the US has to go up against a power of the Spain-Brazil-Argentina variety. I'm off to go sing the Star Spangled Banner sixty times or so.
