Score as much as you want, but act like you know you're the better team when you're drubbing someone by that much.
I am biased though because I find lots of things about soccer annoying, including the 25 minute long, over the top team celebrations after every goal.
For those saying the celebrations were fine, I'll put it in a different context, and remember, in this case, you were on the winning side.
Flip the table. Think of Duke at NCSU, VT, wherever, and we lose, whether by a lot, or a by a little, and the court rush ensues.
I can't count the number of times I've read on the forums, including from posters who have supported the late goal celebrating, "act like you've been there before".
The US has definitely been there before, they could have been more classy.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
