Anybody else get the feeling Obama didn't watch the game? I mean I wouldn't expect him to, it was 2.5 hours long and the president should have better things to be doing with his time, but Jesus Christ put in the effort to at least fake it Mr. President. Vague generalities about the country uniting behind the team and lame jokes about you sucking at soccer aren't really cutting it and they both come off as super cheap.
Also, classic move falling back on telling them how they were great sports and really showed their class at the tournament. The obvious route when a team isn't good enough to make it to the quarterfinals but you still feel obligated to compliment them? Hit them with a few compliments on their impeccable sportsmanship and you're good to go. Oh yeah you guys were really great representatives of the country and you're all super nice people, next time just make sure you win more than one game and don't get knocked out by a country the size of Maryland.
p.s. Am I the only one thrown by the president calling them by their first names? I'm not really sure what else he'd call them but, I don't know, it's fucking bizarre hearing Obama call them Clint and Tim.
