re: "I'm coming home."

I'm a Quakes fan, and I watched Wondo emerge from a fringe player to an MLS star, so I'm biased.

That said, I love the guy, and I really hurt for him. He works his arse off and has such great character.

That miss was brutal and costly, but I love his response since he's come back. He owns it totally. No backing down.

That miss has no real effect on any of our lives. We will remember it and Belgium too, but it's not a top 10 memory of this World Cup. But you know it's gotta hurt the guy.

Idk, I get bothered when people say stuff like "frick Wondo." I know it means nothing, but it bothers me when people flippantly reduce a guy (a good guy at that) to a single mistake.

I felt the same way about Rico Clark in 2010. I can't say that about an athlete who does things the right way. Douches like RVP or whoever, I'll rip all day. I just can't understand hating (or hating on) a hard working guy who made a mistake and has to deal with that.
