USA Soccer

In case you haven't heard, there is a little known tournament having to deal with the sport of soccer down in Brazil. It can be kind of a big deal. I think it's called the World Cup or something of the sort. Well, on that subject, the USA men's soccer team involved in the tournament had the type of opening game that you would only hear in the annuals of American sports' heroism. The team scores in the first minute setting off a euphoria of celebrations, only to have two very important players injured, another receive a broken nose (but continue to play because well, he's one tough guy who will not quit), the opponent dominate the possession of the ball and tie the game against the exhausted and injured USA team in hot and humid conditions, and only for the USA to score that last minute HEROIC goal as if it was meant to be. Well, a quick history of the opponent is that it was Ghana, the same team that knocked the United States out of the last 2 World Cups (2006 and 2010). The game wasn't pretty but the USA earned the win in the only way it knew how, by not quitting. GO USA!
