They _have_ scored a goal - they tied Italy 1-1, and still have an outside chance
at making it into the next round (they must beat Ghana and hope that Italy
defeats the Czechs).

I'm one of those rare Americans who likes soccer, although I prefer American
football (especially college football) and baseball.
