Copa Mundial! USA Advances!

One of the big highlights of the summer has undoubtedly been a highlight of the summer. After the emotional trainwreck of the Slovenia match, Doug was on edge for the Algeria-USA match as opportunity after opportunity was missed. As time began to edge away, Landon Donovan finally came through with the amazing goal to allow the USA to top the group.

There were lots of celebrations around the globe.

Doug has his own crazy celebration with lots of jumping up and down. There were no cameras, but it would have been quite a site -- though not with a totally happy ending as Doug tweaked his knee while jumping around like a crazy guy. He hasn't been able to walk the last few days. Unfortunately, it may be a torn meniscus. Hopefully the swelling will go down, but if there are further problems, Doug may have to get it checked -- hopefully not until we return to KL.
