fantastic (usa win 1-0 this time)
If you missed the US America v Algeria game the other day, it was US soccer’s “most dramatic and important” win. I attended the game and was on the edge of my seat the entire time. My hands were shaking so much by the end of the game that I had a hard time writing an SMS. It seems that the other fans liked it as well, possibly because it very American.
I’ll write more later about my experiences going to that and the previous US game (US v Slovenia) later, but in just a few hours, the team plays again, this time against Ghana, the lone remaining African hope in the tournament. Some smart people put the odds at even for who will win. Though I’ve been rooting for African teams at every turn, my allegiances today will be with the US.
Go US America! Go Yanks!

Oh, crap, you were at both of those games?
I’ve gotten really excited about sports before, yelled and screamed, but the Algeria match actually made me cry. The tension in this sport on this stage is unreal.
