GOAL!!!! It’s what dreams are made of …
Whether you’re a die-hard soccer fan or just a bandwagon fan because the World Cup is underway, if you missed today’s historic match between the U.S. and Algeria, you missed one for the ages.
It was the most unbelievable game I have ever watched. Seriously, it was a rollercoaster ride and my neighbors must think I’m freaking crazy.
Final score: 1-0 USA.
My nerves are shot and have goose bumps just thinking about Landon Donovan scoring that winning goal in extra time. Every soccer player in the entire world has dreamed of scoring a winning goal like that when the stakes are that high in the World Cup. It’s what dreams are made of!
The U.S. would be going home right now if not for that goal.
Cheers to him and the entire team. They never quit. They didn’t whine about the poor refereeing (again), and we actually won the entire Group C stage. We haven’t done that since 1930.
On to the Sweet 16 baby! We likely will play Saturday against Germany or Serbia.
On a sidenote, NGC’s men’s soccer team is tied for first in City of Charleston’s summer league. With four games remaining, a spot in the playoffs is almost assured and we will look to win it all come July.
Go USA!
