U.S. chances rely on Italy's receding hairline

The Foul Pole

The hopes and dreams of United States soccer in this year's World Cup will be decided tomorrow when the stars and stripes face off against Ghana. But despite needing a win to advance, the U.S.'s real chances lie on the salt-'n-pepper hair of Italian coach Marcello Lippi (above, checking for athlete's foot perhaps?).

At a news conference, Lippi promised an Italian photographer that he would shave his hair off if Italy wins the World Cup. With the Americans desperately needing an Italian win over the Czech Republic tomorrow to advance, they hope Italy, at least for now, moves one step closer to a bald-headed fearless leader.

So put away the clippers and the Rogaine, never has so much relied on just some strands of hair!

I think the better question to ask is whether the US team will score a goal on their own. If they do not, they may end up in the chair on Friday. (But you all got to read the Friday Fryer column to find out)! :)

I think Italy will beat the Czechs because they want to win their group to make their progression through the knockout stage easier. USA should beat Ghana, but then, the Czechs should have done but lost. USA are certainly in with a chance of progression to Round Two.

Italy plays for the tie, and that is what they need to advance. Ghana is a fast team, and that style gives them an advantage over the American style. I do believe in miracles, but I don't expect one today for the United States.

According to Eric Wynalda, the Czechs and Italians may make a pre-game agreement saying that they will tie so that they both advance. However, then Italy would have to play Brazil in the next round.
