Team USA: Royal Pain For Spain

Given no chance by pretty much the rest of the world, the US National Men's Soccer Team yesterday defeated Spain, the Number 1 ranked team in the world, 2-0! After losing the first two matches of the 2009 Confederations Cup Tornament, Team USA is now playing in the tornament final this weekend.

Looking at the picture above, one can see how hard Clint Dempsey (number 8) had to work to score. It's also a good metaphor for life. Talent will only get you so far. You have to keep working at something to achieve it, be it a game, a degree, a home, and yes, even a comic book!

I've heard many great comic ideas from friends and associates but I see nothing getting published. It's important to be able to finish what you start. It may not be perfect, but I'll let you in a secret: nothing is perfect. Try your best and the rest tends to sort itself out. Just have a little fun along the way!

Update: Someday Team USA will beat Brazil!
