[Pretty Little Flower]

An uneasy quiet has settled over the board this morning and I think I know why. So I'll just articulate what I am guessing is on all of our minds. Watching the early morning Aston Villa-Arsenal fixture live on Fox Soccer Channel, and watching the artistry of Milan Baros, it is hard not to look ahead to the World Cup and recall that the U.S. will be facing not only group top seed Italy, but the potentially more dangerous Czech Republic. Well, all I can say is that, though the U.S. has undeniably drawn one of the tougher groups, remember that it was just two summers ago when unlikely Greece was on its way to the Euro Championships by knocking off arguably superior teams, including Baros' Czech Republic. I hope that provides some much needed perspective this early New Year's Eve morning.
