US officially advances to the next round...

Yes, it's soccer news. but I wanted to highlight something. Imagine that the Colts were playing their last game of the regular season. Imagine that hey've already clinched 1st place in the AFC but their opponent's have to win to get into the playoffs. Now imagine that, for whatever reason, the only starters that are playing are Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison and Edgerrin James. Every other position is filled by a second stringer or a free agent that was just picked up or a rookie who didn't even get to play this season. Now imagine that the game is played in front of a neutral crowd and that the field is rain soaked from 7 and a half hours of pooring rain (and, oh by the way, it's still raining and 45 degrees out).

Well, that's what the US did tonight. With only 2 or 3 players in the squad that have a hope of starting in the next world cup, the US tied a desperate Jamaican squad that had to win. Pretty impressive, huh.
