2月6日 Twisted Transitivity TemptationIs this a dilemma for other Yanks, or just me? Recall that we defeated Switzerland (in Basel, no less), back in October on the basis of Michael Bradley's lone goal. How cool would it be if England went down to Switzerland today at Wembley? If the world of sport were only so simple as that of mathematics, we could argue that we were better than England. The catch is that I don't want England to lose (except to us, of course, in the World Cup finals). To use the quaint parlance of le Carre spy novels, they're our cousins, in the manner of Langley and MI-6. Admit it, fellow Americans, you'd look at yourself in the mirror just a bit differently if England couldn't beat the team that we handled in Basel. What a feeling that would be!
