[quote=PeteDude]While I’m happy the USA won the game and group, I’m not celebrating nearly as much as everyone else– I must be the lone stick-in-the-mud. I expected more, as in the US getting two wins and a tie rather than two ties and a win.

:: sigh :: Maybe I just need a beer.[/quote]

Yes, I feel the same way.
But being first in their group is great as they won’t face Germany in the next round. But Ghana is also a very strong opponent. The US should be able to be beat them as well.

[quote=flu][quote=sunny88][quote=flu][quote=Hobie]Exactly. And will they take public transportation from Santee to LJ Country Day? And mom certainly is not driving from Skyranch to LJ 2x/day.[/quote]

I went through this right now with a my bosses, former bosses, 2 colleagues, 2 neighbors, and 1 friend.

Conclusion?

Most of them moved to an area with a better school district, because they couldn’t afford 12 years of private school for 2 kids (and these are double income, higher income families)…The remaining ones were very well off families: didn’t blink about shelling out $20-30k/year per kid, and aren’t thinking about trying to save $100-200k on a home purchase.

Well said, I think if you cannot afford to live in a good school district you are also not able to pay for a good private school.[/quote]

Well, let’s not overgeneralize. I’m sure there are exceptions…Just giving my observations about what people are doing.[/quote]

There are very few students at Bishop’s or Country Day from the East County or South Bay.

[quote=weberlin]Perhaps poor reffing is built into professional soccer. You know, to make up for that fact that the sport is so God awfully painfully boring to watch.[/quote]

I respectfully disagree. Soccer is much more interesting to watch than baseball and it’s not just about scoring but also how to build an attack or defend.
