2. The US game reminded me of why I just can't stand soccer (or as the rest of the world calls it, football) sometimes. USA was down 2-1, and they needed all the time they could get to tie it up. Ghana pulls some trick ass shit, walking to corner/goal kicks, taking forever on throw-ins, FAKING injuries and laying there in order to waste time, and the worst thing about all this?? The time keeps running. Why not just stop the clock for an injury or every time the ball goes out of bounds so Ghana or any other team for that matter doesn't pull that bs at the end of the game. Injury time added on by the refs is never enough and its bs that the ref gets to decide how much time to tack on. If they really wanted to do it right they would actually count the time that Ghana wasted, and add that on as injury time. Come on, I know we got the tech to do it...
3. The US game reminded me of why I love soccer (or football). There is just nothing as great as that moment when your team finally breaks through to score that goal. I was at a bar with some friends and the place just erupted when we got that penalty kick against Ghana. Overall, good showing by the US, despite the loss. We definitely showed some future talent, and looking forward to 2014. (And no, I will not give Ghana credit, they got lucky and I hope they lose to Uruguay)
4. Best time to go running is late afternoon or early evening. It's not as hot at that time and you still got some sun to keep you warm. Kinda nice being able to see the sun go down, makes the sky look pretty, no homo.
5. Staying on the running topic, running on dirt trails is so much better for the legs than cement. I switched to dirt trails from sidewalks and my knee is holding up a lot better.
