Highschool, summer vacation, in my mom's living room.
I was at my grandparent's house for the Mexico game.
Won't be forgetting either of those games any time soon.

Fourth grade, summer vacation. My small town's only soccer freak, going absolutely nuts.

In Spain. There was a general disdain for American soccer, and a major horse laugh for Portugal's "inexcusable slip-up".
I got ALOT of 'enhorabuenas'.

I'm 30 minutes into the match.
Frankie Hejduk has attempted AT LEAST six two-footed slide tackles.

Hugely pregnant and 3 weeks away from giving birth.
In the last stages of building our house and cussing at our tile people to get it done.
I was in an overall pissy mood watching the WC that summer.

I remember this, but not where I was. I only recall watching the 6am match against Germany specifically.
At that point in time, wasnt DeMarcus Beasley considered every bit of a prospect as Landon Donavan?

Yes. I remember reading a US soccer magazine for kids that really promoted young players...Beasley was going to lead us to the top...

I had put a TV outside on my deck for the World Cup.I accidently overslept and came downstairs to my neighbor"s kids going crazy on my back porch.

this was on around 4 in the morning, no? I recall eating oatmeal pies feeling groggy as frick, and then suddenly energized by our astonishing victory (and danerous amounts of sugar)

3 AM central time.
I was still in a daze when the first goal was scored, and was in and out for a few minutes after.
Second goal, I was AWAKE.

The Portugal game was the first soccer game I watched start to finish. And I watched from the kickoff to the final whistle. The only other game I remember watching significantly was the '98 World Cup Final. I was too young for the '94 World Cup.
It was summer vacation for me in High School watching late night/early morning in my parents living room.

Well thanks, there goes my afternoon.
I didn't really follow soccer at this time, since I had just started playing the sport and never watched it on TV. I remember hearing about Donovan playing well at the WC in general and that we made it pretty far, but I didn't realize it was the quarters until I started obsessively learning about the US national team 7-8 years later.

probably with a bunch of friends playing counterstrike because it was the first week of summer during my freshman year of high school?

This. I graduated from high school a few weeks before, so I spent the whole World Cup staying up all night with my friends and sleeping all day because I had nothing else to do. That was probably the only time in my life when watching soccer games at 3AM wouldn't have ruined whatever else I was doing.

I distinctly remember setting my alarm for 3 AM just to watch this game. Crashed about two hours after the win. My nine-year old self could barely handle the excitement.
