Soccer has never upped my interest to no more than the anatomy of a dodo. Though some moments really deserves to pull my attention away from my Sunday dish washing chores.
The very underrated Team USA was not supposed to win against the top rated squad in the planet. Is this some sort of a revenge dating back to 2002 when the Spaniards handed the once mighty Team USA basketball squad its second loss in the World Championships thus being the second team to do beat an all-pro American quintet in history?
Nah. That's just playing over the top.
The US made an unprecedented upset and American soccer's life goes on still thriving for the mainstream recognition. This game might be the tipping point or just a one hit wonder and then that's all folks. The important thing is that this match should not just be an upset but to be a start of a sustaining perennial contender status.
Speaking of upsets in the sport where kicking balls is fun, there has to be none close to a feat made by the 1966 North Korean team.
Yes, before Kim Jong Il went nuts over his missiles, they went berserk on the grass.
