Australia

US 2, Australia 1 - As viewed from my living room and kitchen in Providence.

5 points to Edson Buddle for being in the right place at the right time (twice) and finishing... 2 points to Robbie Findley for being in the right place at the right time (twice) and not finishing... Tim Howard looked good, Marcus Hahnemann looked rather dicey... Plenty of good passing throughout the midfield and occasionally we looked really good attacking... Congrats to Jonathan Bornstein for not looking terrible (Jews of the world unite)... Hercules Gomez getting a goal was great... Gooch looking gimpy hobbling around was not.
