Coming out of the closet

I was a closet Slovenia fan.  Watching the two games side by side on a projector screen in a Mongolian bar, I was torn.  After figuring out that Slovenia wouldn't tie the game with England last night, I secretly hoped for a tie in the USA vs. Algeria game so that England and Slovenia would both enter the next round.

Irrational? Probably a bit. Unpatriotic? Absolutely.

But of course Donovan scored in the 91st minute. Definitely a bittersweet moment for me.

I've tried to love the USA team but somehow it's not happening.

So with Slovenia out, I'll just have to find another team to fall in love with.
