thanks *g* so amazing--the difference between finishing first in the group and going home--
sometimes (okay, often) I just love sports, and mini-dramas-of-the-spirit they provide--here was Donovan later: "Sometimes in soccer you have games like that where you get a lot of chances and they don't go in," Donovan said. "The only thing you can control is if you keep playing."
I was determinedly not watching--since, you know, I was "working." But all that meant was that I clicked on the score every 30 seconds. I had already resigned myself to them going home when I saw the little box change over!
But I kept thinking, they're late scorers, always, because, as I sententiously told my son, they never give up!

Yes, it was 98. Twelve years ago! It's starting to feel like a long time... I don't care a lot about football (sorry, soccer :P), but it's a matter of national pride!

Thanks for posting some glee I could share in!

But that is very cool! Love the picture!
And Dean's happy dance will make me smile, each and every time.
So many gorgeous pictures of those guys!
