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!

Marlene and I are flying out to Vegas this afternoon. We'll be watching the game in a sports book complete with White Russians and V&Ts. Look for the tweets.
