Thank you Landon Donovan and Team USA!

We are in the sweet 16 and I couldn't be happier! What an exciting game and one of the most important goals for US soccer. We are in the dance. That is huge. Win a game or two...even better. I say win the whole damn thing! Start believing! This is our year!

Anyway, I watched the first half of yesterday's game at a bar by work. I then worked in our commons area (that has tvs) with 10-15 other people while watching the game. In the 75th min, I had to get on a call. I jumped into a conference room right by the commons. Well, I may have missed the goal but I sure knew what happened. The commons area ERUPTED. Love it! I had a soccer jersey on. I was walking around in it. Don't care...big game! I am so excited about Saturday. We have a decent chance to win that game (even though the whole crowd will be rooting for ghana).

I leave with two fun things. First is the famous spanish announcer, Andre Cantor calling the goal. Just hit play within the link.

The second is the reaction in a Las Vegas bar. It was like 9 or 10 am out there when it happened. What a start to the day!



Let's hope USA can get some revenge on Ghana for 2006!

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

Busy!

Sorry for the lack of blogs. I have been a bit of a traveler lately and it is not going to let up any time soon. Two weeks ago I was in New Orleans for Bryan's bachelor party. I felt like I was in the Hangover. Lots of fun times and lots of partying especially for the USA-England game. That is all the details I can give.

Last weekend, we headed to Cincinnati for a long weekend with the Neyers. It was an amazing time. Again, the USA-Slovenia game was probably the craziest moment. I am still reeling from the horrendous call. What a 2nd half for the USA team. In the end, their destiny is in their hands. They win and they are in. Please let them pull off the W tomorrow...PLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEE!

This weekend Michelle is going to a shower for Mary in Elgin. My weekend really depends right now on the USA game. I will plan the weekend tomorrow around noon.

PwC has given us off Friday and Monday of July 4th weekend. I am excited. We are flying to Florida for a long weekend and coming back Tuesday night.

The summer is always filled on the weekends!

On a sidenote, I have missed my softball games twice already. I am 0-2 for showing up! This is changing come this Thursday. i just hope the coach doesn't bench me for not showing the first two games!

Well, work has been crazy busy as well so back to work I go. Have a great week.

2010 World Cup

The 2006 World Cup was the main driving force behind a few of us becoming Liverpool fans. Quite frankly, I could not be happier with the decision.

Well, starting this weekend is the 2010 World Cup. I am super excited for the tournament this year. To be honest, after the US gets out of pool play (and they will get out of pool play), I will be rooting for two teams, England and USA. I have watched a lot of the English team play. Gerrard is probably a captain. However since they are in USA's pool, I am rooting against them (at first).

To get everyone in the spirit of the cup, below is a youtube of Woddy Harrelson kicking a game winning penalty kick in a game of the world vs. England for charity.

Go Woody! And more importantly, GO USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
