Most excellent for U.S. TV ratings of the FIFA World Cup was this morning's Hollywood last minute ending to the USA's 1/0 game against Algeria.
Talk about the American Dream. Despite all odds and global teasing, the USA soccer squad won its group and are through to the second round!
Number 10, striker Landon Donovan was undoubtedly the hero of the day for the Americans providing a shocking 11th hour goal to sweep his team onwards and upwards.
Good thing England had already won 1/o against Slovenia, as the channel surfing was reaching fever pitch here in this British/American/Italian World Cup Crazed household!
There's nothing quite like being awakened on a warm summer's morning here in wine country at the crack of dawn to the English National Anthem blasting out of the big screen. But I have to say, the US team's turning its fate on a dime in stoppage time was the highlight of this morning's international footie action.
Noooooo! USA winning means that england's potential run in is very very tricky! Germany and then Argentina...yikes
