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.
