There's usually a formula for making pretty good alcoholic drinks, I've decided. 10% alcohol, 90% mixer. So for a Jack and Coke- 10 Jack 90 Coke. Mix it together and badabing, you have a drink that's not too strong but not too bland. Of course, that's just my combo. But after this game, I've increased my intake.

50% Jack my friends. And 50%...umm.. nothing. So I guess that's just hard liquor after a horrible showing by my team. Here's the problem- the Americans played like.... Americans. Lemme explain- we're a good team. Yes, I firmly believe that. But we played it was like Major League Soccer today against a very strong Czech team. Aparna said that it looked like the soccer team of her high school gym class. Ouch. But I can't disagree much. I have no idea what happened. But it did. 3-0 Czech Republic.

Do we have a chance of breaking out of this group? Yes. IF ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. Basically, we have to defeat Italy and/or Ghana, and one (or both) of those teams has to beat the Czechs. Then, we have to get a high number of goals in the next two games while also hoping that the others have low scoring games.

Possible? Yes.
Probable? No.

But until then, here's some more of Uncle Jack.
