There United States of America is not the most popular nation on earth but they could all do with a boost from the Soccer World Cup 2010. Nobody thought about the USA when it came to the game. They were just the team that came from a big nation that could not get to grips with soccer. In fact the English fans were already predicting a comfortable score that would take them to the top of the group. Things did not go the way that they had been planned. When they played England, the team refused to buckle. They were not going to concede a goal to the prima donnas of the tournament. The English side decided to use the excuse of a lone mistake from the goalkeeper to somehow denigrate the performance of the USA team. Then England faced the even lowlier Algeria and ended up with a draw. It was quite clear that the English team was facing some serious problems.
The action for the transatlantic friends then moved to Slovenia. For the first part of the game it appeared that the USA had met its match. A two nil score was very much on the cards and people were already going back to the draw to see how it could help England if the USA was beaten. The USA then clawed back the two goals and it even appeared that they had won the match altogether. The English team was left reeling at their over confident predictions and the USA public was stunned at the exploits of their less fancied team. We should not get too carried away because of the draws but there is definitely something going on with the success of the USA team.
It would be such an inspiring story if they managed to win the Soccer World Cup 2010 trophy. They are the team that was not really given a chance but they have proved that they play with a big heart and they are not threatened by the different favorite teams that come their way.
