U.S. World Cup team at the White House

Good luck. We are rooting for you. Go USA.

Next time, maybe put on your "big boy" clothes...

Deuce looks unimpressed.

Clinton and Obama joined forces to persuade Bornstein not to bring down a foreign delegate in the Oval office.

Deuce looks unimpressed.

when does he ever look impressed?

and +1 G_o_G

Deuce is a Texan.

Ching didn't make the team because he's got dirt from Hawaii on the POTUS' birth certificate.

That Nawlins soldier from that HBO show The Pacific really reminded me of Deuce.

Hey Goff:
Do you know if the Prez,VP or Clinton will be at the game Saturday? I'm driving up that morning and I'm wondering if I will need to give myself extra time to get through staduim security. Do you know how many tickets have been sold for the game?

Go USA!!

Don't know about Clinton and Biden but BO will be in Chicago all weekend.

If you believe the non-Goff reported interwebs, it should be around the 45k mark now.

Obama is a jock sniffer. He is more interested in LeBron James going to the Chicago Bulls, than the largest oil spill in world history. The BP spill is worse for him then Katrina for Bush.

lol @Gunnar2

You'd be better off going back under the bridge, just sayin'.

Don't worry Gunnar, you aren't the only one here that feels that way, it's just the crowd here tends to lean left. Has BO released his World Cup brackets yet? :)

I honestly believe that duece doesn't even attend these events and that he's kept in a cryogenic chamber in Roy Hodgson's basement, only getting out an hour before game time. That's a cardboard cut out that the team carries with them.

here we go again...

Far be it from me to defend Dear Leader but the oil leak ain't gonna get plugged any slower with him in Chicago than if he stayed in Washington.

It has nothing to do with 'leaning' and everything to do with dooshbaggery

"Next time, maybe put on your 'big boy' clothes..."

What's wrong with the way they're dressed? They're athletes, on their way to a major tournament.

The prez and ex-prez even complimented the way they looked.

Don't worry Gunnar, you aren't the only one here that feels that way, it's just the crowd here tends to lean left. Has BO released his World Cup brackets yet

Yes Gunnar, don't worry, as Che Guevara said: "Soccer is a tool of the revolution." You are surrounded!

"What's wrong with the way they're dressed? They're athletes, on their way to a major tournament."

They are also grown men, visiting the White House by invitation. But hey, at least they wore shoes.

Its cool, Repubs. It's not like the right wing-led total gutting of any govt. entity that might possibly tell an oil company or bank "no" had anything to do with this oil spill or the market crash.

Looking forward to following Bono's lead and taking my mind off of this during the World Cup.

woah Bob Bradley's not wearing sweatpants for a change!

And if you look to the FAR right, you can see...oh never mind. Wrong venue.

I like the shoes.

Once again, Bornstein is out of position.

It appears that Bornstein is out of position.......again.

DMB is already having a good influence on the squad. Yesterday during the introduction of the 23, he chided Deuce for having unzipped his jacket. A small matter, yes, but an awareness on DMB's part of who the team represents!

"Once again, Bornstein is out of position."

"It appears that Bornstein is out of position.......again."

OK, which blog made this joke shortly before 2:32 p.m. and sent you guys scrambling over here to repeat it?! We demand to know!

OK, I'm tapping out. Who is Deuce?

Yeah Dempsey aka Deuce and Ricardo Clark, Furman teammates back in the day, both had unzipped their jackets when DMB motioned for them to put them back on. I'm sure Nike was pleased!

Did Bornstein ever take the Honduran pres up on that offer?

And seriously guys, I know you guys are DC, but this is soccer, not politics... Only thing that can ruin the game for me, aside from violence

Once again, Bornstein is out of position.

Haha...that was funny...and then I see that he truly is out of position in that picture. Unbelievable! Hahaa

Ghana captain Michael Essien has been ruled out of the World Cup due to injury, dealing a major blow to the Black Stars' hopes of success in the first tournament to be held in Africa.

@JacobfromAtlanta-ish - we are maybe one of the few countries were soccer is divorced from politics (as much as it can be anyway).

World Cup finalists with the highest degree of freedom, as measured by Freedom House:

Australia, Chile, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Uruguay, USA

Let freedom ring!

It really is shocking how much Herculez Gomez looks like President Obama.

My fiancee said "that's Obama!" when Herc scored the other night.

It's all in the ears!

My new desktop background at work!

How can you tell? Oh, wait, I see the gleam of the botox of her lips and . . well, yes, there's the silicone, yup.

I hope FIFA doesn't ban us for government involvement.

C'mon folks, some of you are getting carried away about the meaning of this event. Obama just invited them over to see if they could stamp out the rodent problem:

Idiots. The irony of the statement doesn't even touch the consciousness of those making that "case". Left leaning politics = environmentalism, anti-corporate, anti-petroleum , etc., etc. It's comical to find conservatives -- who spent decades chafing against regulating industries like the oil business and went around chanting "Drill, Baby, Drill" -- now claiming the White House isn't taking this seriously.

He knew the crew from RFK couldn't

What I'm saying is: There's your brain, and then there's your brain on Rush. Don't do Rush because it does bad things to your brain.

You're an idiot, CrippledKeeper.

How's that for right down the center?

I think you just described Monica.

Don't be hating on Rush, man.

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart

@OWNTF: Got my tix for Sept. 18!

"Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward...no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down..."

Why can't this just be a nice photo-op with the President, Vice-President, and former President wishing the US Men's Team well before preparing for the biggest sporting event in the world? Frankly, I think it would have been nice if W was there, let soccer unite all Americans. That's just I.

GO USA!!!

Do us proud!!!

cvciidc, aye aye!

Does anyone seriously doubt that they wore precisely what the office of the WH press secretary told them to wear, no more, no less?

You're an idiot, CrippledKeeper.
