Wow! Yesterday was a day to be a sports fan. The day kicked off with the US playing Algeria in a must win match to advance to the next round; and it was a game to remember. After an onslaught of chances throughout the game and another disallowed goal the US looked like we were going to be robbed of advancement. Then in the 90th minute on a goal that took only 11 seconds to complete the US and hero, Landon Donavan countered and won the match. The World Cup quote of the tournament has been "One Game. Can Change Everything" how about "One Goal. Can Change Everything."
Then to wrap the night TCU baseball played in another must win game to stay alive in Omaha, at the College World Series. TCU played Florida State, the team that they dominated in their first CWS appearance last Saturday. TCU looked down and out of the game trailing 7-2 in the 8th inning; then TCU leadership stepped up, Seniors Bryan Holaday and Matt Curry got the bats swinging and rallied to a 11-7 victory. Matt Curry hit a grand slam to clinch the win and take the Horned Frogs on to play UCLA; Friday night in another must win game.
Also, if anyone had time to watch Wimbledon yesterday you would have witnessed history in the making. American Isner and Frenchman Mahut have been playing since Tuesday afternoon. They have played for 10 hours now and will resume play today to hopefully get a winner. The two men have broken Wimbledon records left and right including: player with the most "Aces" in a match, longest match ever, and many more.
