YES, with a boring conference call (scheduled by someone who clearly has no clue about what's really important in life) on mute, while I look at jewelry online

Of course!

Now, why didn't we play the first 90 mins like we did during OT???? Tim Howard can't do it all by himself!!

Watched the game and was really proud of our team. One of the best matches of the games so far. Tim Howard!!!Belgian's coach applauded him on the internet.USA! USA! USA!

I think so too. I think by the time my son is my age the US will be a force to reckoned with in football.

I was really sad they didn't make it through. I wish they would have played in regulation time the way they did in extra time, and I thought it was really unfair they were only given one minute of added time at the end of the second half of extra time. If it had been like 3 or 4 I think there would have been a different score. But Tim Howard really shone.

Yes. Read this:

"Measured by participation, soccer is already among the big four sports in America. Today, nearly 7 million kids under 18 are playing organized soccer in the United States, according to surveys by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. In this regard, soccer is running neck and neck with basketball as America’s most popular sport. Baseball, with its long and glorious history, trails, with about 5.6 million organized players. Football lags well behind these three, with 3 million participants."

I agree with every word of this.
