Copa America

Yahoo! soccer commentator Brian Homewood made an accurate yet stinging assessment of the USA-Argentina game, noting:

"The U.S., who like Mexico take part by invitation, proved very much to be the party poopers.

Not only did they bring a second-string line-up but, unlike any of the other 11 teams, they packed nine or ten players behind the ball and made no real attempt to win the game."

Unfortunately, true. The USA lost 4-1, but was tied 1-1 at the half.
