At the airport
We're checked in and waiting for our 8:00 AM departure for Chicago by way of Atlanta.
Robert and Amy have both been upgraded to first class, on both legs. Jan and I will be stuck in coach with a bunch of college kids who are currently annoying the heck out of me.
I never really did write a whole lot about our game day experience. Which was pretty amazing, in spite of the fact that the USA played like crap. The Ticos fans were fantastic, and gave us a bit of a hard time but in a joking fashion.
As for the game - I did expect us to lose. After all, we've never won in Saprissa. But I did not expect the team to play like crap and just crumble. Giving up a goal in the second minute certainly didn't help. They had to chase the game after that. Unfortunately, even down a goal the US didn't really attack, and had far too many back and square passes. I thought Beasley was pretty bad.
Tomorrow against Honduras is a must-win.
