Mets and racing at 1 p.m. World Cup soccer in very slow motion at 2 p.m. I have the satellite and cable circuits humming and the TVs all set up. The fridge is going full-bore to keep the beer cold and the spooker of Irish is sitting nearby. And the wife is visiting family in Ireland. This could be a fun day.

An early goal has the U.S. down and the Mets are being whumped by the twins.

And it's not even 3:30 yet.

The Mets Cy Young Award rapist had another bad day.

Pelfrey is the new ace of that staff, the Mets offense doesn't give Santana any runs when he pitches well either.

The Americans have tied the game 1/1 after playing for 3 days it seems.

Congrats to Ghana. Those fellows could play the game. The header passes I saw were fantastic.

My fellow countrymen played their hearts out but, as usual, stank up the place early on before coming on to play a decent game.

You can't go in the hole early and come back in a game with no action that lasts two days with nothing happening.

I'll be back again in 4 years to comment on soccer again if I live that long.
