Now that the wound has sufficiently healed, I can share a little story.
If you were anywhere near University Heights when that goal when in I am sure you heard my yell. Well yell may be a little masculine for what the sound actually was. Honestly, it was more of a shriek. What was so big about that goal? Well it wasn’t just because it was a perfect counter-attack. Or, because it was the type of play that you could gladly show somebody when they ask why Soccer is the beautiful game.
I was so happy because it was Landon Donovan scoring on a big stage. I have always believed Donovan is a World Class player, he would be a household name if he was born in almost any country but the USA. So that goal was big affirmation of my belief and an FU to all the people who say he can’t cut it in Europe.
Thinking about the rest of that game leaves a pit in my stomach, but watching that goal always brings a smile to my face.

Man, Some E Cards is on top of it. I just hope people out there can appreciate how big it is for our little soccer team to have reached the finals of the Confederations Cup.

“I dedicate the goals to my family, who are watching the game on TV in America,” said Rossi, who was born and reared in New Jersey. “This is a dream, I’m playing for the world champions, and I also hope to become a world champion next year.”

It would have been nice if this kid’s dream would have been to play for the country that brought his parents together. The country where his family lives. The country that gave him the oportunity to become the player he has become.

The CBC ended their Stanley Cup coverage with this montage. I am still in disbeleif that the Pens actually won game 7 in Detroit.

Found this in the seat-pocket seems kinda emo, but I will give it a read. I will give a book report when I am done.

I am a fan of Ryan Adams, and I really love when he covers songs. I often enjoy his covers as much or more than the originals. This cover of Willie Nelson’s “Always On My Mind” made my night.

I didn’t realize Obama was a fan of this game. Amy and I are quite fond ourselves.
