There's always Johannesburg

World CupLandon Donovan's body language says it all. The Americans were eliminated from the World Cup, losing to Ghana 2-1. My favorite headline, from ESPN: Going, Going, Ghana. The U.S. team came to the tournament with hopes of finally gaining soccer respectability, and now must wait four years for redemption in South Africa. It hurts a little more to know that Italy beat the Czechs, which could have helped the U.S. advance.
