Great win for the old U.S. of A. !!
Folks have to realize that we weren’t really all that competitive in the past - even if we lost 0-2 or 0-3...other teams just got their goals and rested. To beat a pretty good Ghana team and “maybe” have a chance against Portugal (don’t bet the farm on that) is pretty cool.
USA has finally figured out how to be competitive in soccer - did you see our team? If they had put our guys in the uniforms of Cuba I wouldn’t have noticed anything...swarthy young men with a German coach...that’s how you do it. Nothing against our suburban boys - but you gotta do what you gotta do to win. The “Son’s of the Mayflower” aren’t what we put out there in Basketball either :^)
Football will never be as popular as other sports but its developed a sizable following here, especially among young people.
People just felt elated we won. It’ll never be taken away from us even if Team USA doesn’t make it to the final.
Nothing against our suburban boys - but you gotta do what you gotta do to win.

You must’ve missed our first goal. The white Texan kid ain’t bad.
