It's easy to feel heartbroken for the US team and, indeed, the whole country. But that's what makes soccer, and especially the World Cup, so great. As a fan, you walk a very thin line between agony and ecstasy. It's high risk, high reward. We didn't win the Cup, but this year, as a nation, we got to experience a wonderful moment we'll never forget. Donovan's goal against Algeria was one to savor. Here are two slightly different angles on the goal and the moment:
(1) Legendary Miami-based, Spanish-language announcer Andres Cantor seems to weep towards the end of this extra-long embellishment of his signature call. The best part: you don't need to know Spanish to understand what he's saying...
(2) This mashup of goal reaction videos is making the rounds because it is funny, moving, and inspirational...
What a moment! Sure beats fussing about the oil spill and the economy.
(HT, Chris Diebold for both.)
