Oh, soccer… you with the periodic way in which you get our hopes up. It’s not just every four years now, either. Somehow it’s become more frequent than that. You got me again last night, as I tuned in to see my national team face off against a real soccer team from Argentina in the Copa America Centenario.

It was exciting for about 10 minutes.

Four-nil? That’s like 40-nil in a real sport.

Kudos, soccer promoters, though, on slipping this one in off schedule to milk some American wishful thinking. You got me again.

See ya at the Olympics.
