Ghana just beat the United States at the World Cup. Downside: The Americans are done, and their overall performance in the tournament was disappointing. Upside: Beating a bunch of countries, rather than tying them or losing to them and getting an early ticket home, wouldn’t have helped global attitudes toward us. Upside #2: Any Americans who were distracted by the World Cup may now return their attentions to the better and more American sport of baseball.
