    Wow awesome. I would rep you if I could - what an amazing day to be a U.S. soccer fan! :cool: I was a one-man party up here in Toronto.

    With this win, this team has met expectations. Anything beyond would be gravy but I'm glad we've made it this far. Donovan must've bagged an extra million in endorsements on that last goal!

    Who says we don't care about soccer those videos are amazing, all those young people will be soccer fans for life, once the USA puts it's mind and resources towards something we come out on top.

    It won't be long now.

    Miracle on pitch?

    Where are you guys going on Saturday? I want to find the best crowd.

    Discovery Green would be cool.

    Try Soccer4All across the street from Texadelphia in The Village.

    Well you can't go wrong with either the English Premier League, or La Liga from Spain, best 2 leagues by far in the world.

    If that does not tickle your fancy, you've got basically the best soccer tournament when it comes to clubs, The Champions League. It's basically the best clubs in Europe with all the best players in the world trying to decide the best European team every year.

    Looks to me like USA has the easiest route straight to the semi-finals. None of the powerhouses are grouped with us in round of 16. If we beat Ghana, then it's either Uruguay or S. Korea. We can do it this year.

    i really think we have the best chance of getting to the semis.

    first vs. ghana, then the winner of uruguay and korea.

    if we were 2nd in the group, we could have to face germany, then argentina or mexico!

    I'm not old enough to know, but did the "miracle on ice" lead to a rise in the NHL in America?

    I think the NHL enjoyed a fairly brief romance with the US audience sometime in the mid to late 90s.

    Try Dillards, that' where I bought some of my shirts. And my USA Soccer Scarf.

    I think that's where I got my stuff. It was one of the department stores that are in all malls.

    I think the strike killed it, more than anything...it is still recovering.
