CONGRADULATIONS!!! YOU ARE READING THIS ON THE ABSOLUTE WORST SPORTS DAY OF MY LIFE!

First the U.S. Football team was eliminated from the World Cup, then my obsessive/favorite sports team in the world, The New York Knickerbockers, sacked the year old head coach Larry Brown.

To the English contingent who frequents this blog, I fully understand that I boasted about the American side. Considering the fact that our finest world class athletes are busy making small fortunes partaking other activities, and the PK called against Oguchi Onyewu was absurd. Someone please tell me how you get a foul when you connect with the ball...to me it seems that if you're going for the ball there can't be a foul. Getting back to my first point, some of you may have never heard of Willis McGahee, but if he was a seasoned trained footballer, he could rule the universe. Shaquille Oneal as a goalkeeper???

On to team Titanic. So the NY Knicks are already the highest paid team that also happens to have the 2nd worst record in the league. I was content with the situation after reading in the post that Marbury was happy and that he learned from last seaon and how Larry Brown was a good coach, also I could use the fact that some of their most talented players were new to the team and they needed time to adjust. After weeks of heavy speculation the owner James Dolan decided to fire Larry Brown the head coach. Please remember that Coach Brown is still $40 Million of a $50 Million contract, and he is also known as "Mr. Fix-it" being a coach who can take the worst teams and convert them into winners. Not a day goes by that I contemplate the possibility of covering up the tattoo with a Cleveland Cavaliers tat, as I am a huge fan of King LeBron James!

So my precious American side got dicked by the Czech's , but my English friends assure me they are better than we even thought. They have a sharp kit though! My Italian-American friends don't know who to root for in Italy v US! England sure isn't playing to potential. They get good opportunities but miss the net. Lampard shoots high or Crouch rushes. They were tied with Trinidad untl the 83rd minute...that was unacceptable! Trinidad was 2000-1. I think John Terry is the best player I've seen so far. I can not believe he is younger than I! Another team from my heritage, Poland, is also playing poorly. They need Pierogies! I must say it is great to have soccer on every day although I am working most of the time I try to tape as many games as I can. Americans seem to worry about the golf major, that I don't even know the name of, than the World Cup! My new sleeper team is Ecuador!
