We weren't sure how it would have looked on TV. The 2nd goal he let in was totally due to him showing off, and I think it shook the team's confidence a bit. <br /><br />Still, the shots on goal were pretty one-sided. You have to give the US goalie (Miller) kudos for keeping the US in the game. Yes, it burns to admit that :).Mermaidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149574905485287914.post-77488144880262038072010-02-22T08:08:56.135-08:002010-02-22T08:08:56.135-08:00Cath,
