Okay, so here we are. A little over a day before our second match of the World Cup, and we are now slight favorites to make it out of our group! Spain and England have both been eliminated. Jozy Altidore will not be playing for us. How big is that? Well, I knew his name even before he grabbed his hammy against Ghana.
To give you an idea of how big that is, here is the list of names I know in soccer:
Jozy Altidore (obviously, I just said so)
Landon Donovan (who's not on the team)
Beckham (not an American, and his first name is not Benditlike)
Pele (I'm old)
Messi (Who I actually thought was Nessi but not in a lake in Scotland)
That's about it.
Oh, Yeah, Thierry Henry- I covered his first match with the Red Bulls.
