When one's other teams are the Chiefs & Royals (& Mizzou & Orlando Magic, to a lesser extent), and you're a kid who has never experienced a championship but wants to desperately, seeing your best shot at finally seeing a championship slip away into emptiness for 4 consecutive years is a ****ed-up kind of pain.

Ditto. I think the US had a great tournament but are not quite great enough to beat more than one great team. Nothing to be bummed about.

they experienced playing world class for a while, and i hope they remember what it feels like and the effort it required....most of them should have more confidence, even good players like donavon stepped up another level.....

I'd curious to know how many total minutes Brazil has been down 2 goals in 60 years or so.

We made the most of our limited opportunities but against a team like Brazil they will wear down a lesser team and their control of the game will usually mean a victory. Witness the second half of this game...

I can't say that I was a fan of the team then. Those weren't championships that I can claim.

Compared to where this team was a WEEK ago? Give me an effing break.
You'd be pissed if the Chiefs started 0-6, then turned out to lose in the last minutes of the SB THIS YEAR?

I think they have enough offense to compete with these players. defensive organization was extremely good, but their closing while very good at times, was the difference at key times. that second goal was a prime example--he did make a good turn & shot, but I've seen them close & clear on chances like that in the last couple of weeks, and against the tops in the world, you've gotta do that every chance. I'm happy with what I've seen!

**** yeah, I would. If the Chiefs were good enough to get there, then they'd probably be good enough to win.
