Scoring in the first minute couldn't have been better for the sport.

A common topic brought up by novice fans of soccer is the limited amount of scoring. Getting that goal in 30 seconds kept people watching and engaged for the next 94 minutes.

Outside of winning, this was the best thing that happened for the growing the casual fanbase in the US.

IDK. I will say scoring goals was good, but USA stopped playing attacking football after the goal and I think that could be negative.

I suppose there is a lot of nuance in the game that is difficult to appreciate if you are unfamiliar with the sport. Kind of like gaining just enough yards to punt and flip field position in football. There is importance there, but it can be difficult to notice.

It was magical. I was serving drinks and the bar just exploded.
