Dear Bruce Arena,
Your team is not very good. Even a man up your team was weaker ... Posh's hubby won't make that much of a difference.
Sincerely,

I was going to make a nice long posting about how having a MLS team in Seattle has made me lose track of international soccer and then comment on the game ... but the way the game deteriorated today was a direct result of a completely over-matched officiating crew and has me unable to write cohesively at this time. Not one player shook the hand of an official after the game when they lined up at midfield after the final whistle. I have never seen two teams so clearly lose faith in an entire crew as they did this afternoon. The body language of the center ref was the body language of someone who had completely lost his confidence and control. The number of cards issued (4 for dissent alone) was because the players on both sides completely lost respect for match officials. It was terrible.
Still, I do want to give props to the supporters section and how when they get cheers going the whole stadium picks it up ... very nice!
