The US Mens National Soccer Team defeated Ecuador last Sunday with a score of 3-1 in Tampa, Florida. Landon Donovan scored 3 goals to lead the United States past the visiting Ecuadorians. Unfortunately, I only got to see half of the game. It was my fault. I woke up late. By the time I turned [...]

What a sweet victory for the USA National Team beating Mexico 2-0. This is a remarkable win considering the circumstances. Let me explain. Mexico was at full strength.
