We’ll get to the details of the U.S. losing to Brazil in the Confederations Cup final tomorrow, but for now, let’s just bask in the first half of the game — and in particular, Landon Donovan’s gorgeous 27th-minute goal. I’ve followed USA soccer closely since the World Cup in ‘94, and I’ve never seen the Gringos score a goal as beautiful as that. And from Donovan! He usually disappears on the biggest stages, but he was tremendous during the last two games against the best in the world.
A counterattack goal in five perfect touches. You don’t see that much, and certainly not from the Team USA. I’m ready for the World Cup to start now.

Why yes, I am.
I’m sure in a few hours, the resident soccer bashers will start in with the usual “Soccer is Lame” Bullshit.
Fuck ‘em. If Golf and Baseball are sports, soccer makes the cut. Plus, it pisses off all the Mexicans and Eurosnobs who hate the US for playing soccer.
