USMNT

The USMNT (US Men's National Team in soccer) did very well in fighting until the end. The team made every fan, new and old, back here in America so proud! And I am one of them. I never once doubted the USMNT. Watching the Ghana game at a local pub and seeing how many people went to see the game made me so happy that at last soccer is becoming popular in US. Soccer is the most popular game in the whole world, but in the US it's only 3rd. American football and baseball are always the topic here when it comes to sports. It saddens me before, but now that the USMNT showed how much soccer is important to them, it also became important to the other non-believers here in America. Their 2010 FIFA WC journey may have already ended, but all of us fans here in America and the rest of the world are looking forward to the 2014 FIFA WC in Brazil. I am soooo excited because I am for sure going to go to Brazil to support the USMNT. Right now I am just waiting until I save up enough to watch a friendly vs Brazil in New Jersey. Hopefully, I make enough money. I really want to see Carlos Bocanegra. Damn... He is soo fine. And he is a good defender too! He was a two time MLS Defender of the Year while he was still playing for the Chicago Fire. Now that he is playing for Stad Rennes, it would be hard to follow him since he is all the way in France. Hopefully he gets drafted back here for MLS, or maybe for EPL. I cannot wait for August!!! And September too!

Sidenote: Thank goodness for the Germans butchering the WC dreams of those boastful English players. In your face Rooney!
