That was the case in their scintillating 1-1 draw with Italy in Kaiserslautern, in which the Americans finished with 9 men on the field (that would be 2 less than they started with...
...fact, Gita has been at the center of a contentious debate over whether the L.A. Zoo should continue to exhibit elephants at all. In September the 8,000-pound pachyderm, who got her exercise on early-morning strolls before the zoo opened, had state-of-the art foot surgery to relieve bone disease that had led to arthritis, which is common among elephants living in captivity. Zoo officials had optimistically declared that Gita was on her way to a full recovery...
