Lessons Unlearned

Watching the United States side make the same mistakes over and over again throughout the World Cup (Do these guys understand what the word defense means?), I wonder if it isn't a metaphor for the nation as a whole.

Sometimes I feel that we make the same mistakes over and over again, refusing to take accountability for things constantly blowing up in our faces. If insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, perhaps the whole country has gone crazy.
