The U.S. Women’s National team managed to survive the proverbial “Group of Death” and survive is absolutely the correct for how they performed in those three matches.

Giornalismo

Given all of the pressure of being the United States in the World Cup and the location of this year’s tournament, it’s easy to understand why the U.S. Women’s national team showed so many jitters early in the Group D opener against Australia Monday. The nerves, both of the players and supports, were quelled for…

So I have to admit that I was wrong. A couple of days after American Pharoah dominated on a sloppy track at the Preakness, I made the statement that the horse would suffer the fate of the 13 horses in the past 37 years who have tried to complete the Triple Crown. It’s just too…
