10 years ago, yesterday. Late, but I find it inexcusable that nobody mentioned it.

I removed one picture because I'm pretty sure it was from the Portugal game. I'm going to try to add more later.

Also, if someone wants to add a link to the full game, feel free. I'll add it to the original post when I get back from work.

fricking Rafa Marquez

This was really the first World Cup I had watched and after this I started to follow the USMNT. My aforementioned friends were all soccer players in high school and lured me into watching with drinking all night.

Memories...

same for me. me and my brother stayed up all night for those games and since then following the USMNT has become my most passionate rooting interest besides LSU football. I live and die with LSU Football and USMNT and i wouldn't have it any other way.

Saw that. Said that Landycakes made the cover of SI over the Lakers at the Finals, Tiger at the US Open and the Stanley Cup. Pretty rad

I wish I could find a picture from my favorite part of the game...Hernandez getting booked for simulation after flopping.

A few thoughts/memories I have from this game:

5. This game really helped us make a name for ourselves, and it showed that the win over Portugal may not have been a fluke.
4. Brad Friedel really stepped it up this game. In spite of the fact that we conceded 7 goals, he had a great tournament.
3. This game is where I developed my hatred of Rafael Márquez and Cuauhtémoc Blanco, a hatred which still exists more than 10 years later.
2. This was one of our greatest wins of all time.
1. This is one of my favorite memories of US soccer.

I really do think this was the game that ignited the rivalry. I think it was our establishment for the progress weve had for the past 10 years

The cross from Lewis to Donavan is still my favorite cross.

Next up was Germany. What could have been.

That was great. The cross from Sanneh to McBride against Portugal is also one of my favorites.

One thing that was kind of annoying was that it was hard to watch all the games. It's not like most world cups when I could just watch all the games straight through. I pretty much had to watch what I could and then catch the replays on television, but it was pretty damn difficult to just completely tune out the score.

To be fair, us hosting the World Cup would make pretty inconvenient times for everyone else.
