The U.S. women's soccer team won the gold medal again, marking the last time Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Brandi Chastain, Kristine Lilly, and Abby Wambach will ever play together. It must have been a bittersweet moment for them. For the U.S. men's soccer team, which didn't even qualify for the Olympics, it must have been just bitter - "That could have been us!" Only two years ago the men came in a very respectable eighth in the World Cup, and now they couldn't even get to play in the Olympics? Somewhere along the line, the U.S. men's soccer team began to resemble the Democratic Party - just when you think they're getting their act together, they blow it and have to start from scratch again.
