reasons, for the tim howards, the clint dempseys, the new players like julian green. i think soccer has a place in the sports landscape in this country and that s very exciting for me. dave, i think that i m the test case, if they could reach me, then soccer fever really has hit a new high in this country. yep. the wine is out of the bottle, the horse is out of the barn. there s an old expression that soccer is the sport of the future in the united states, and it always will be. which is like the fatalist position that everyone always says soccer is going to hit a turning point, but it never does. we are there. the rating for this, crushed the nba finals. made the nhl stanley cup look like a test pattern, rivalrying the football championship. here s a prediction for you, even with the usa out, i think
them, but there was awful moments, there were great moments, and many flashes of brilliance. and i m very proud of the team. brandy, what was going through your mind today as you were watch thing game? well, i was just thinking that, you know, the usa mentality that goes along with u.s. soccer, men s and women s, is we re going to fight to the end. ultimately we did that. i honestly thought that chris wondolowski in the 92nd minute was going to put that ball away. he s from san jose and i watch him regularly. he s notorious for scoring goals in added time. i thought, my gosh, this was fate to have him in this position. it wasn t meant to be, but like judah said, this was a wonderful occasion for soccer in this country. i think people have glommed onto this team for all the right reasons, for the tim howards, the clint dempseys, the new players like julian green.
