Confederation Cup 2009

USA v Italy June 15, 2009

Tshepi, my brother and I were able to attend the USA v. Italy Confederations Cup game! It was quite memorable. Besides the two random guys sitting in front of us waving the American flag, we felt like the only US supporters in the whole stadium. We didn't let that discourage us; we made tshirts and went out in full support! It was very exciting. The US lost this game, but they went on to place 2nd among all the teams in the Confederations Cup....now all eyes are on South Africa as they are also hosting the World Cup in 2010! Saying soccer is big here is definitely an understatement; it's a way of life, and it definitely gets in your blood. Let's go South Africa! Let's go USA!! (...hopefully they won't play each other in 2010)
