I had a premonition watching the US-England match this weekend, and it's this: the US won't achieve material progress/success in international competition until it surpasses two milestones. My reasoning follows . . .
1) We'll never go all the way with beauty pageant jerseys. I can't see our men on the "pitch" w/o imagining tiaras to match their white sashes.
2) Above all, we must abandon our laughable insistence on announcers with accents that are British, Irish or some guttural derivative thereof. I know the Brits have a rightful claim to the sport, but enough of this Old World deference -- let's show some ownership and impassioned expertise of our own.
