U.S. has a Men's Soccer team...

For real. I haven't watched the game yet, but dvr'd it for tonight (lucky Yen!!!) But I did see that the captain, Carlos Bocanegra was back - having been out with a bad hammy, happy eyes!

Also - I hope I get Star's name for Christmas, 'cause I know what to make her.

Okay - watched the game, the U.S. defended like crazy & our goal keeper was awesome. I think Jozy Altidore's shoulders are related to Dwight Howard and tiny Landon Donovan was super fast. All around amazing win.

Spain...that reminds me of when Boo was down visiting, and Mom & Dad were here with Mike & Hettie. Mike told us to pick a place to eat, so we decided to try a tapas bar. When Mike heard that he told Dad that he liked hanging out with those girls, 'cause they wanted to go to a topless bar for supper. Oh Mike, only you could make Mom laugh at that.

Are you ready for some futbol?

Watched the U.S. v Egypt match yesterday. Somehow, amazingly the U.S. managed to win 3-0 and combine that with Brazil's 3-0 smack down of reigning world cup champions Italy, the U.S. moves out of pool play and on the semifinals of the Confederations Cup. The U.S. finished 1-2 in pool play, tied Italy in goal differential (-2) but advanced because of # of goals scored. Lucky Yanks now have to face world #1 Spain on Wednesday. dang.
