BWAH! I''m not a sports person, but I have been intrigued by how much more buzz the World Cup seems to have in the U.S. this year than in years past. I don''t think we''ll ever be a soccer nation on par with the rest of the world but...who knows?

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a shame we had such a horrible referee. (I was a ref for fifteen years, 13 of them at the State level, but you did not need to be a ref ever to know that this one was horrible!) I suspect he will not be allowed to work any more games, what an embarrassment to the profession!
He clearly stole the winning goal from us, but after being down 2 - nil, it was an exciting game and we will take the tie.
Oh my goodness, I felt a little abashed when I realized I was jumping up and down and screaming at the top of my lungs in an empty room with only me and the TV. Poor dogs must have wondered why dad was going insane...
I must go take another shower and calm down, I am still trembling with the excitement of the second half. I nearly turned it off after the first half to come work, but decided to take my medicine now rather than dreading it all afternoon.
Whew! What an exciting way to spend the morning. I am almost glad this only happens once every four years, my heart just can''t take much more of this!

I KNOW!
That actually happened right after I typed my post above. I was shaking I was so mad. BF and I were ranting and raving at the TV, and I came into work and my boss and a coworker and I were all talking about it. That was an absolutely atrocious call. I'll be interested to see what the official word is from him on why he made it - there are a lot of angry fans right now. We deserved that win.
I can't believe I almost didn't watch the second half. I just wish the US had played like this in the first half! We need to start playing with that much passion and energy in the beginning instead of worrying about catching up!

The ref was awful!!! Talk about a stolen goal! It''s so funny - I went onto FB after the game and almost every post was about how crappy the ref was and how that call made NO sense.
Wink, my BF and I are at home 24/7 studying for the bar so he''s been watching every single game on TiVo!
