Their cup has run dry.
The U.S. soccer team crashed out of the World Cup Saturday with a heartbreaking overtime loss to Ghana that reduced parts of the city to tears.
"I feel empty," said Mike Blanka, 45, of Queens, after watching the game at Down the Hatch in the West Village. "I don't know if I should go watch the Yanks or cry."
His head buried in his hands, Brian Kenny sat alone on the steps outside the W. Fourth St. bar and choked up as he lamented the crushing loss.
"It's terrible, man," grunted Kenny, of Chatham, N.J. "We shouldn't have lost this."
Ghanaian striker Asamoah Gyan stuck a dagger in the heart of the American team in the 94th minute, sending a left-footed missile into the goal to give the Black Stars the 2-1 victory.
