Soccer(football) fever has been trending over last few months
before the 2014 FIFA World Cup started and now it is at its peak point. I'm not
a very big soccer fan, but I got interested when the USA team was doing better
than most people had expected.
Yesterday's match was USA against Belgium. I was
rooting for USA team to win and advance to the quarterfinals. Unfortunately we
did not make it. But I just want to say a great game to them and especially for
Tim Howard, an excellent goalkeeper, who made 15 saves, the most saves in 50
years. What a heroic achievement! He is the Man of the Match, although my mom
stated that if the goalie has to save a lot of times, it is an indicator that
ball possession was weak for USA team.
I couldn't finish my post without mentioning Julian
Green. He managed to score a goal past the Belgium goalkeeper, Thibaut
Courtois. Overall, I can say team USA surpassed many peoples' expectation and
let's hope they will play even better in the 2018 FIFA World Cup!!!!!!!!!
Once again congrats to Tim Howard, Julian Green,
and team USA! Go USA!
