USA Soccer beats Spain??

Yeah, I was just as shocked as everyone else. I turned on the TV and saw the 1-0 score in the 50th minute and couldn't believe it. Then Clint Dempsey made it 2-0 and I was beside myself - was this really the U.S. national team handling the mighty Spaniards?

Next up for the Americans is powerhouse Brazil in the final of the Confederations Cup. To be honest, I don't care so much about that game at this point. The Americans showed the other day that they can contend in next summers' World Cup. They proved that they can hang with the big boys on any given day. So if they lose to Brazil, I don't think my opinion of U.S. soccer will diminish that much. That being said, if they can somehow defeat the Brazilians, I will be that much more energized about the United States' chances at the World Cup.

I gotta mention the U.S. Open because I haven't posted since then, but I was saddened to see Phil Mickelson come up short (again). Here's the biggest reason why:

At just about every hole, Phil waves to the crowd. He gives a thumbs up or slaps hands with spectators, showing his true appreciation for their support. Tiger Woods? I haven't ever seen him do that. Sure, maybe on the rare occasion he has waved to the crowd or done something of that nature. I'm not saying Tiger is a bad guy. I'm just saying that because of Phil's obvious appreciation it is much easier to root for him than it is Tiger or anyone else who refuses to acknowledge the fans.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about Manny Ramirez and all of his crap, so I'm not gonna mention anything about him playing four innings for the Dodgers Triple-A affiliate Albuquerque Isotopes yesterday in preparation for his July 3rd return. However, I will mention that the Albuquerque Isotopes have the greatest name in all of minor league baseball. What the hell is an Isotope anyway? Honestly I don't really care, I just think it sounds cool.

I leave you all with this clip of T.O. getting chewed out by some bimbo supermodel. Sure, it was probably all staged, but I still enjoyed it.
