Today the USA soccer team takes on England. I’m currently in Denver, lamenting Bono’s back injury and my friend Jacob’s absence. I’m also going to be watching the USA play England. Remember back when I posted about how excited I was when the US beat Spain? Imagine that, then multiply it by 1000. I’m so so so excited for this game.

Here’s a video giving a glimpse of what the team went through to qualify for the WC.

It’s going to be long odds for the US to win, but like that quote I posted last summer, and like I’ve read in articles leading up to today’s game, we’re Americans. We always believe there’s a chance and we will not give up until it’s over. Here’s hoping today is a game we can all be proud of.
