The Day of USA



















Today we have made great USA history. We have tied England by a goalkeeper blooper. the shot by Dempsey must have hypnotized the keeper he had just touched it and it rolled in as the keeper tries 3 times to stop it. Great end for the USA. So far only two wins out of 5 games in the World Cup 2010. We hope for more. The Fosters and the Campbell's have shown a lot of spirit for the USA, South Africa, Uruguay. As we were getting our fan supplies we found a shop with 2 USA flags but for a terrible price, 100 rand each (a lot of money for flags). So my mom bargained it down to 150 rand for both and Connor wandered off and came back a few min. later and said "a guy over here is offering 120 rand for 2." But he was lying and the guy believed him and we got it down to 120 rand for both. And went to a tapas game and tied England what a great day

  1. Fantastic game! Glad we tied! It was very exciting. I thought maybe we would have gotten another one... (lucky we got the one we did).

    Go USA!!!
