Futbol!

Today was undoubtedly an unforgettable day for the United States Men's National Soccer Team. Being matched up against the likes of Brazil and Italy in the group stage of the Confederations Cup was flooring to begin with, but making it through to the semi-final round was completely unheard-of.

The analysts have all waxed poetic on the unlikelihood of the USA matching up with the world's number one futbol power- Spain.

David Villa
Carlos Puyol
Sergio Ramos
Fernando Torres
etc., etc., etc.


The US didn't play a game of tactically sound possession and its strategy lacked aesthetic beauty, but it sure as shit got the job done! Jozy Alidore capitalized like a veteran professional early on to give the US a one goal lead. The rest of the match saw the Americans digging their heels into the defensive third, showing guts and glory as they sacrificed their bodies to block the onslaught of shots from the Spaniards.

Donovan and Dempsey hooked up for a 'right place at the right time' moment in the second half that truly made the whole thing seem real. With a two to nil cushion, the US pulled all eleven men back on defense, frustrating the likes of Pique and Xavi. Michael Bradley received an audacious Red Card for a tackle but the remaining ten men held strong, due in most part to the outstanding play of Timmy Howard between the sticks.

Go Sam's Army! Turning heads in the global futbol community and building momentum at just the right time before the World Cup.



...oh yes, I nearly forgot:


I've officially purchased my tickets for 3 matches at the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa. PSYCHED!
