USA!!!

My sister Shauna and I had the amazing opportunity of going to the USA men's soccer game on Sat. It was AMAZING! They played El Salvador and won 2-1. Altidore scored one and Dempsey scored one also. It really should have been 3-1, but the ref made a really bad offsides call on Altidore. It was a beautiful game and a beautiful experience. It was awesome to look at the stands and see numerous flags and red, white, and blue everwhere. Shauna and I left the game on a patriotic high yelling and screaming that we love the USA and soccer! haha. It was sooo much fun! Funny story, one of the guys from the Real Salt Lake team was playing for the first time and Shauna though his last name was Beckevich, so we were screaming that name during the whole game. Come to find out, his name is really Beckman (I don't know how to spell it for sure, but you get the idea). The people around us probably thought we were crazy. Ya it was pretty embarassing. Oh well, we had a blast and got to cheer for the USA!

Cheering after the game. We are #1!


Kind of hard to see, but this is the scoreboard. It says 2-1 at 90:00! YA!!!
