humph-

grrrr, I’m pretty annoyed right now since the US mens national soccer team just lost 2-3 to Brazil in the Confederation Cup. We totally rocked the first half against the football powerhouse with two goals but in the second it was all depression. This is the best that the US has done in an official tournament. It was a big surprise that we even got here especially since we beat Spain who were undefeated since November 2006. Soccer in the US isn’t nearly as big as everywhere else, but peeps are trying and the national team sure is helping through this tournament to gain popularity. Next year at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa (where this Confed Cup was held) may provide just the opportunity that the US can use to spring to the top, let’s just hope they will.

On another note Joe and Dana surprised the family today by turning up late last night. Joe had told me they were coming last night but for mom getting up this morning and and finding them here it was pretty funny to see. The little kids were staying at a friend’s house and were pretty surprised at church. Don’t you just love being in on a secret?
