Go USA!

We just watched the USA vs. Algeria game. Incredible! Heart stopping game!

Before the World Cup began, we were rooting for Spain, Germany, South Africa, Ivory Coast, Netherlands, and Argentina. The USA wasn't even on our radar. We want to watch world class soccer teams and players. Then...the denied USA goal. Foul, what foul?! An injustice against the Americans. No way. Suddenly, we are USA fans. Suddenly, American non-soccer fans everywhere are USA fans.

We watched today's game from the edge of our seats. Another denied goal?! How can that be? The replays showed NO offside. ANOTHER injustice against the Americans. At the end of regulation time, the score was still 0-0. It looked like the Americans are going home...again! Landon Donovan to the rescue. He scored in stoppage time. We love that guy! We jumped, we screamed, we danced, and Mommy cried!

We have tickets to one semi-final game. That is the only possibility of our World Cup paths crossing. We'll cheer for the Team USA all the way there!
