It was a cool game to watch and exciting as we are now only two days until wheels up. I stayed up until 12:45 am to watch the end and won the family bet - Daddy got to sleep late on this fine Sunday morning.
Meaningless friendly, but still had meaning I guess. USA's offense looked good and was putting lots of pressure on the Aussie defense. Other than Tim Cahill's first half, the Aussie offense was dead. Does not bode well for the June 13th game against Germany, but hey, it's just a friendly.
There's a chance that my two home countries to take on each other in a meaningful game, but for that to happen, one team would have to finish 1st in their group, the other second. Honestly think the best hope is USA should be a solid 2nd in Group C, but Oz will have to perform miracles to even advance. USA defeating England would be on par with the 1950 victory but more meaningful in today's sports mad world. The British fans might all spontaneously explode.
Anyway, was cool to watch and getting more and more excited about my June 8th takoff.
More to come...
