Someone posted your video of the goal in the celebration thread.

I'm so jealous of you right now.

i think he just wanted to break down and went and laid down to regain his composure. I was jumping all around my living and my dad heard me screaming over the surround sound in the back yard. imagine how he felt with 50000 people screaming

Hopefully he can sleep tonight, because he deserves to wake up to that feeling tomorrow morning

I love the celebration, or lack thereof. Seems like he couldn't even believe he scored, and was just thinking to himself, "Holy shite, I just scored in the WORLD CUP!!!"

It's honestly like he had been acting on instinct since someone randomly told him to start warming up and finally realized where he was

I saw an interview on ESPN with him after the game.

He said he had a dream a few nights ago that he scored in the 80th minute.

It was genuine. Lots of guys are full of shite and acting, he was truly overwhelmed. It was awesome.

I also love how Zusi and company recognize how in shock he is and don't absolutely maul him.

I thought he was concussed from that rocket that was sent in from the corner.

It was beautiful. His reaction reminds my of when Fredy Guarin blasted that cannon shot of a goal from downtown. It was pure emotion and shock, and that's why I love the game.

I literally did the same thing he did, although I didn't realize it, because I was laying on the ground.
