Late night open thread

June 12, 2010, book that date America. We all have something to do together. You don't get to be America by hiding from challenges. You don't get to be America by taking on the less defended beaches at Normandy. You don't get to be America without liberating Europe. You don't get to be America by not inventing rock and roll, the automobile and the cures for diseases that cripple children. You don't get to be America by losing the 1980 Olympic hockey game to the USSR.

We're America for a reason. And on June 12, America has a date with destiny in South Africa. You see that'll be the USA's first World Cup match and lookie see who us Yanks have a date with. Why it's England. The nation that talks football (as they call it) like it's their game. An epic match to be certain. Was it England who recently upset #1 ranked in the world Spain in the Confederations Cup? Oh, no, wait, that was America. Who was the only team not to lose to Italy in the last World Cup? Was that England? Nope, it was America. America seems to be getting this soccer thing together. And England, for all their across the pond talking have won exactly ONE World Cup title. One. It's time the colonies whip mother England's behind once more.

June 12, 2010. England says we have no chance. They tell us the Three Lions Squad is going to overmatch the USA. They say they'll bury us under the pitch.

You don't get to be America without proving yourself on the field of play.
