Reaction To Last Minute USA Goal . . .

Recommended Posts

Hey, I admit I was flipping channels, saw that the game was on and remembered it was their last game of the first round and there was 20 minutes to go in regulation so I settled on it.

What I saw was some of the best play on the field by the Americans in a long time during those last 24 minutes (including stoppage time). I never saw so many shots on goal by the US team.

So yeah, I did scream and fist pump the air when Donovan kicked the ricochet in.

My little girl covered her ears and then said "Daddy! You're screaming too loud!"

:D

I hope the US side sees some of those vids -- who'da thunk that there would be soooo many fans packing in to watch them in the WC?

In the middle of the morning?

That should show the lads they're not playing in a vacuum like so many times before.B|


Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Actually, only South Africans have bought more seat tickets than Americans at the WC this year.

d00d...really? :|


I'm constantly surprised but the myopic views of some of you USofAians,
With a population that was largely built on immigration why are so many people shocked at the favourable response to soccer.
ALL of your major cites, like LA, NY, Miami Chicago, SF have massive Euro subcultures.
It's one of the great things about your country (and mine).
You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)
My Life ROCKS!
How's yours doing?

Because once they all got here they realized baseball, basketball and football were all better games?

Pres Clinton was at the game too. It was very funny to watch his reactions - he is was clearly not a soccer fan. I believe he has now changed his itenary to watch USA's first knock-out game too.
Very cool.B|

I can't watch videos at work.

Bye_Bye_Italy.jpg (88.4 KB) is not a video :P



Oy vey. Nick referred to a compilation of vids, so I didn't even bother to go click anything.

Won't it be far more interesting to talk about Pres Clinton in South Africa. I, for one, think that he is by far the most charismatic of recent US presidents, and it is cool to have him here, enjoying the our World Cup.
