We have the day off today before we attend what could be our final match of the tournament tomorrow in Spain vs Chile (unless we get tickets to the USA vs Ghana game on Saturday, fingers crossed). We thought we would catch up on some blogging while we have time and internet before we head off into the wilderness for some activities.
This morning another article was published about our trip to South Africa. You can find it here. Pass on the blog website to anyone you think might be interested in our trip. Last night we met a guy from Deerfield that recognized us from the newspaper and blog and wanted to take a picture with us.
Below you will find a link to the game winning goal from last night. We have heard from numerous people how amazing it was to watch on tv and its hard to find the words to describe what we were feeling in person at the moment.
You will also find a link to a video taken by Manno during the USA vs Slovenia game. He captured what should have been the game winning goal in that match. This video might give you a sense of the excitement we felt last night.
Enjoy!

Strhammer wants to know if there's time for a 4-some to tee it up somewhere (Taylor's rules in wolfman, of course - meaning regardless of how bad the play, he wins in the end!)
