AHHH Glorious day!

I am a fan of most sports, and I could sit hours on end watching them, especially Michigan State University Sports. But today brought about some great sporting events across the globe. Earlier today in South Africa, The USA soccer team took on ALgeria in group play. The US had to win this game to make it to the next round (They had tied their first two games against England and Slovania). It appeared that the US was going to end up in a tie, when less then a minute into stoppage time, Landon Donovan kicked a rebounded in for the winning goal!!!! What a story book ending for that game, but the test is just beginning.

I am a closet tennis fanatic. I really started to enjoyed tennis when I watched the epic match between Roger Federer and Rapheal Nadal in the 2008 Wimbledon championship. Rafeal Nadal overcame the king of the tennis court to win his first Wimbledon title. Now it is two years later and Wimbledon is once again holding their championship. After The US won their game this morning I switched over to the tennis matched and I quickly learned of the EPIC tennis match that was taking place. When I started to watch the game, John Lisner and Nicholas Mahut were in the fifth set tied at 25 games a piece. When I left watching the games it was four hours later and the game was tied at 59 games a piece, The match started yesterday, picked up today, and is now postponed until tomarrow. THIS IS CRAZY! A 10 hour tennis match and there is no end in sight. WOW

What a great day to be a sports fan!
