the problem when you present a different sport every time as a metaphor for your ideas is that rather than discussing the merit of your idea we end up lost wondering if/how your metaphor is applicable. too much is lost in translation to even try. i've developed a flinch. one never arrives to your actual idea, or one is taken completely away from it by the alien parable. the reason parables worked for your god's son was because they were simple and evident.

anyway, re: the stats --- one thing i noticed (with pain) on the usa-belgium stats was that the most successful pass of the USA game was from dempsey to bradley-- in other words, backwards. the most successful pass for Belgium was from verthongen to de bruyne (forward). :_(

also, we had more possession and passes… just not in the attacking 3rd.

and they had 39 shots to goal to our 17.

39!!! insane.
