Dashed Hopes in Germany

Well, all the excitement, anticipation, and expectations about the US in the World Cup came crashing to Earth in less than two hours in Germany yesterday, as the Czechs beat us bloody, 3-0. I was prepared to lose this match, but not that way. We didn't even put up a fight, for reasons that are still unclear. One of my co-workers said that, while watching the replay last night, he felt like the sportswriters in the 1920s who figured out that the White Sox were throwing the World Series. Hopefully, we pull our collective heads out of our collective assess in the next few days before we face Italy, who looked very good in dispatching Togo yesterday.
