Holy Fuck
OK that picture doesn't do the adrenaline that is still coursing through my veins and arteries justice, nearly an hour after Donovan put the U.S. through to the knockout stages with a goal in the last minutes (edit: now with a guy screaming in spanish). RIGHT AT THE DEATH! This is better (via):
Take that Algeria, you French-born bastards! Now we can look forward to a match Saturday at 2:30 p.m. against Germany or Serbia or Ghana or Australia depending on what happens this afternoon. The only thing I can guarantee at this point is that somebody's going to be tying one on that day.
One other thing that occurs to me on the comedown. There are few sporting events that can still get the butterflies stirring in the goat's old stomach like this. Professional sports just don't do it anymore, at least not since the 2008 Phils did their thing and let a generation of a city to feel what it was like for their high-paid heroes to win it all. You only have to look back at the posts from September and October of that year* to see I was into it, then. But these days it takes the World Cup, or college football involving my alma mater and 70 pass attempts in bowl games to get that head in hands/rocking in my seat heebie-jeebies going. Probably has something to do with a fan-player dichotomy that exists in pro sports and not in amateur. But who the fuck cares about that right now. America! Fuck Yeah!
*with classic phrases like "Hot 'Cooch' Carl's game-winning nubber"

But would it have been better, Goats, if we had lost against poor Algeria in the first place, as to avoid the heartbreak that was this weekend?
The answer, of course, is ennui.
Off to Omaha for the CWS finals. A gamecock vs. a bruin, you say? Easy. I'll go with a fighting, phallic rooster any day of the week.
I think the answer is pragmatism.
Well I just spent the last three hours screaming "Cocks!" We all get one day of our life to do just that, i would say. It was like a Jeff Schulman Christmas.
Omaha!
It's funny because he's a Jew.
And yelled cock a lot.
