Truly the greatest finish ever for US Soccer.
ReplyDeleteUSA! USA! USA!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tremendously tremendous finish! Should've been 2-0, but more questionable officiating almost ended the Americans' run. Landon Donovan comes to the rescue, however, scoring a stoppage time winner to record an awesome victory to send us to the knockout stage.
Oh, and, there's a Wimbledon match going on that's in the 5th set. The score in that 5th set as I type? 32-31.
This afternoon has been unreal.

ReplyDeleteIsner-Mahut update: 57-57 in the 5th set. If there's a record, these two will break it.
ReplyDelete@ Scott: At that point they had more than doubled the record.
