USA Scores Biggest Win At World Cup

OK I won’t lie. I wish I was in South Africa right now soaking up all the terrific World Cup action. And today I would have given just about anything to witness the USA vs Algeria match. As it was I was right on the edge of the couch going crazy as the minutes wound down in this one of a kind match. My buddy Chiuck and I were hooting and hollering and urging the US team on as the tension mounted to an almost unbearable level.

The game moved into added time and all seemed lost. The USA were going home from the Cup with nothing to show but disappointment. Then Algeria makes an attack and Tim saves the shot. Boom the man with the golden arm launches a service out to the flank. My god he threw the ball like a laser to Landon on full sprint and the counter attack was on. Could it be? Could this be the chance?

As we edged farther onto the front of our seat (could we go much farther and not fall on the floor?) the USA had numbers going forward. Landon, Jozy, and Clint are all on the full sprint to the Algeria goal. And then suddenly a shot is taken, another good save from the Algeria keeper, but in a blink there is Landon swooping in to scoop up the rebound and slot home the goal. AMAZING. I was now on my feet going crazy with joy. Oh my god the soccer gods heard our prayer and delivered us a goal and redemption from the bad ref calls in game two and the first half of this one. Could this be real? Well indeed it was and the boys closed out the game for the victory.

In the space of a few minutes the USA went from going home to winning the group and going to the next round. Simply friggin amazing stuff.  USA soccer skill is rising folks and we are so happy to be a part of it. Time to hit the training pitch and get the next group of stars ready for the next World Cup. Already team USA is making history.
