i really feel the need to recap from yesterday a bit. for those under a rock, the US won in dramatic fashion yesterday 1-0 to advance in the World Cup. landon "captain america" donovan scored the game winner in the 91st minute of play. it was incredible. a moment like that? the only things that come straight to mind are aaron boone's walk off homerun and, well, that's about it. i'm a jets and an islanders fan which pretty much offer nothing but heartache. but i love them to death.
anyway. LANDON FUCKING DONOVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was at a bar in williamsburg, a bit drunk at 11 in the morning. it was glorious. traffic up front, can it happen, can it? donovan. i had a really shitty day at work, and usually that's when i crave a cigarette. instead i just had that goal replay in my head for a second and i couldn't help smiling. USA baby, USA.

I'm from SA, and team USA was (honestly) my third choice team. Obviously, South Africa was number one, then since I have dutch roots, Netherlands was two. The USA was my underdog team (picked because I have quite a bit of family there) and I loved following their progress. When all of SA was shouting for Ghana, I was steadfastly rooting for you guys... Pity you lost. I would have loved to see the US go further.
BTW - that Donovan goal was amazing... gave me chills watching it... still gives me chills... especially if you think of the circumstances.
