A choice excerpt:
I have attended all kinds of sporting events: Never have I heard a crowd more stunned than the Mexican crowd after Davies’ goal. All traces of sound vanished from the stadium. Like someone pointed a remote control at Azteca and pressed "mute." It was one of those sports moments when you wish they could have stopped the proceedings right there for 20 minutes, just so we could soak in what happened and dream about all the possibilities.
Estadio Azteca. United States 1, Mexico 0. (Pause.) Hold on, just a little bit longer. One more second. Just let me keep enjoying this.
Hat tip to FGOC friend Bill for calling this to my attention.
