Unbelievable!!
Team USA Men's Soccer had been pretty much left for dead after the pasting they took at the hands of Brazil in game 2 of their group in the Confederation Cup. But a stunning big win over Egypt and a total collapse by Italy allowed the USA to back into the semi-finals where they were expected to be a speed bump for #1 ranked Spain who hadn't lost since 2006.
I wandered over to the student union to see if it was on the big screen TV to catch the last 20 minutes of the game and there were about 200 watching!
Some think the US team doesn't have the talent of the rest of the world while others think they have the talent but not the mental toughness.
Perhaps, the program has turned a corner?
U - S - A, U - S - A, U - S - A !!!
