World Cup

There are ninety nine day left until the World Cup starts in South Africa. I can't wait. Today was a little warm up for the tournament. It was an international friendly day and I was able to watch the USA play the Netherlands and then Spain versus France. Later tonight I am going to watch Mexico take on Norway at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Hopefully Mexico will win because the USA lost their game 2-1. The second goal was a bit unlucky because the shot from the Dutch player took a big deflection off an American defender and out goalie was wrong footed and unfortunately had no chance to make a save. The second goal came pretty late, at about the seventy minute mark, but we still got a couple of good chances to tie the game up after going down. It wasn't the best game but I think that it was a good game for some of the younger players on the team to get experience playing against one of the best teams in the world. The Netherlands are currently ranked third in the world behind Spain, first, and Brazil, second.
