(This was written on June 25th before the US/Ghana game)

I felt bad for the US football/soccer team when their winning goal against Slovenia in their World Cup match was disallowed by a referee undoubtedly related to Helen Keller.

Especially since “footie” is such a goal-challenged sport in the first place. (Unlike the one with the only Cup that really matters.)

Then yesterday I read that BBH had just lost to Fallon their 5-month-old Cadillac account – and that they found out about said loss by reading of it in the press.

Talk about unfair.

But of course, that kind of unfairness happens in adland everyday. Even when you succeed you can still somehow lose.

So suck it up, Team USA, things could be a lot worse.

At least the World Cup can’t be awarded to a team that pretended to play a fake game for a country that doesn’t exist.
