Oh, USA. The team that was poor for my nerves, but kept me watching every minute. Yesterday, I watched the Yanks pursue until they could no longer could thanks to a clock. It’s embarrassing to admit that I am still mourning the loss to Ghana again (USA lost to Ghana in the last World Cup in Germany.) Ghana is like the Raven’s Steelers.
Regardless, Landon Donovan is now a household name. Americans have finally realized that futbol is entertaining, especially after each game’s come back after come back. This past week it was refreshing to see the states united again. People left their homes to watch the game with their communities, or for me, my parents actually starting watching the game. Americans developed a comradery over night. One thing is for sure, our futbol team has showed the world that Americans never give up and play fair. They did the unthinkable of tying England, coming back in the second half to Slovenia, and scoring a goal in the 91 minute. In two years, we have the Olympics and then off to Brazil for the next world cup. With the home team out, lets go Germany.
*Somewhat side note*
If you think I’m obsessed with this World Cup, you should have seen me in 2006. My friend, Suzy, would come over to my house and watch the games. At times Suzy and I would call each other and watch the games if she was unable to come over. As if that wasn’t enough, when no games were in session, we would play the Playstaion game in my brother’s room—I’ve never seen so many red cards given out in a game ;)
