USA Men’s Soccer WINS at Confederations Cup!

Glad to finally get to write that sentence :)

In beating Egypt 3-0 tonight, not only did we win;
we passed Egypt in the standings based on goal difference (goal scored vs. scored against you) &
we tied Italy on goal difference (because Brazil beat them 3-0 tonight) &
we scored more goals than Italy, so we passed them in the standings.

The US men’s soccer team is advancing to the semi-finals.  We play Spain (number one team in the world) on Wednesday.  Brazil plays South Africa in the other semi-final Thursday night.

I will consider this a Father’s Day gift from the national team.
Thank you very much.

    You deserve this and do much more. Perhaps SA can win a few more. Your sewing love entry is making the rounds of Fresno. Robert even used part of it in his Father’s Day sermon. Have a great day.
