a tale of two teams

one team didn't play very well

one team did play very well

the results? well, the men's national side is exiting the copa america early. and, people aren't too happy with the u.s. for sending what is considered to be a "b team." as a supporter of u.s. soccer, i'm not real happy. it's good for us to try out new guys, to get experience for others, but should we do that in a pretty important south american tournament? we won the gold cup, and seemed to be riding a swell of energy. we looked like we were actually building something. then, we send a squad down to venezuela that bore little resemblance to that squad. what happened? 3 losses, and didn't look that good in this losses.

the other team, the men's under 20 side, beat brazil yesterday. this sent us into the next round of the under 20 world cup, and sent brazil home. as i mentioned the other day, i'm trying to catch these games now.
