I'll probably get infracted for this but honestly I don't give a **** what happens to Independiente or the US national team or even Arsenal or Barca for that matter.  I just want something good to happen to me in real life.  That is all.  I just want to finally get some luck.  I'm just like Arsenal...so good and so close right until the finish, and then I botttle it.  Just give me one good break, that's all I want, and I don't care what happens  to any of the sports team I'm rooting for at the moment.  Even utter failure is better than a good performance right until the end that provides the illusion of success.  It hurts too much.
