Entry #3: The Moment
by Mike Brienza
About the creator: Asked to provide two bullets on himself, Mike simply had this to say:
I am a freshman at Ohio University and have played soccer all my life. I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and I’ll support the Columbus Crew and the USMNT till the day I die.
Fair enough Mike.

Heck yes.
I watched this video earlier today, and it just makes me pissed that I’ll be stuck in school this summer. But no worries.
I will be rocking one “Dempsey” jersey and hanging an American and US Soccer flag from my dorm window.

Very nice work.
I’m pathetic enough that I still get choked up watching some of those scenes. What am I going to do when we win the World Cup?

i just realized ive never seen the entire us algeria game on tv. I need to do that.

I didn’t get to see the game live, but I ended up watching the entire game late that night when ESPN replayed it. I didn’t even intend to watch the whole thing. The power of the game just draws you in.

the winning goal in that game was a thing of beauty..
90:00 had passed on the match clock, Algeria was on the attack, took a close range header, Howard collected, threw the ball half the length of the field to Donovan who was on the run, 2 touches, pass to altidore out wide, firs touch short pass to dempsey in center of box, first touch shot, blocked, donovan rebound to score the winner and set the place off.
I was there for it all and that span of about 20 seconds of play and 45 minutes of celebration made the whole trip worth it.

I love the footage but it’s nothing new. I’ve seen it all before, plus the clips repeat themselves. BUT YES, those are awesome clips. I think every video I’ve seen has Dempsey looking up in slow mo.
Posted by Jay Bell on 2011/02/25 at 9:56 PM
My entry doesn’t have Dempsey looking up in slow mo’.

Does anybody know if their was and TV interview or Good Morning America show where the guy crying in the stands was interviewed or something. I think that was the moment of the world cup

i totally got chills watching the video. the only game we lost was the one i didn’t see live. call me superstitious but, i’ll make sure to catch all our games live next time…also the dutch one every game when i wore orange. needless to say i didn’t wear orange for the final. couldn’t root against the octopus…

Best one so far…no offense to the others, but this gets my vote to date.
