Years have gone by and I've finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good soccer. I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: "A pretty move, for the love of God."
And when good soccer happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don't give a damn which team or country performs it.

world cup 2010: usa lose to ghana
The US team lost to Ghana 2-1 in their knockout round World Cup match. It was fierce at times, but fatigue and wear and tear were obviously taking a toll on the Yanks. It was only Wednesday when Landon Donovan boldly won the match for the US in stoppage time against Algeria. The soccer gods blessed the team that night... but you can only cruise with their blessings for so long. 32 teams enter into the World Cup... 31 leave with hearts broken.
Our hearts are broken. But the US team played bravely, honorably, and will no doubt improve on this inspiring World Cup run.
Onward!
Love,

At the Inukshuk Foundation our goal is to fill in the gaps in community services and programs across Canada to help at risk youth complete their education.
Since reinstating our charity status in 2009 we've been hard at work to get our first initiative off the ground: creating Inukshuk Fields in Scarborough, Ontario. With your donations we can make our first project a solid success.
