True. But the "we're"? I think for Olympics and similar global events such as this, it is important to support one's own country. I was represented by the Americans who did equally poorly and should be ashamed of their whining about goals not credited in the last few minutes. To the American team I would say, "Get real. Score early and avoid the problem of blown calls later." Dominate to win, don't merely hope to is my feeling.
