If they have moral victories, they must also have moral defeats, right?

Well, if that’s true, last weekend’s victory over Japan in the 3rd IFAF World Football Championships would qualify. Maybe we really shouldn’t even bother competing in this one, because anything short of three consecutive blowouts will be considered failure. So am I happy about Team USA’s 23-20 overtime victory over Japan for the World Title? No.. not particularly, but we did win, so I’ll drink to that.

Really, its not a great situation to be in at all. Either we as a county put out a better effort and completely humiliate other nations and make the entire competition futile, or we lose face. I’m all for complete and total annihilation but not really all that enthused about the possibility of losing the world title unless we are actually putting out our best. Kind of a dilemma when it comes time to selecting next year’s team; maybe a few more D-I players will solve such a mess?
