I am a huge soccer fan, and while I'm excited that we've qualified, I'm upset about the fact that last night's game wasn't televised. US Soccer messed up negotiations for the television rights, and the game wound up on closed circuit.
In addition, our success in our region (North & Central America, Carribean) masks that fact that our coaching and administration is incompetent.
