The Present

Sitting in the back of the room of his fifth-grade physics class, 12-year-old Kiril Tochkov was just another number at his school in Sofia, Bulgaria. Literally.

There are several columnists around the country dogging on the event because of the risk of injury to the players involved.

But there is something about seeing a team wearing USA on its jerseys that gets me excited.
