Day 13 - Miracle in Petoria

Today was the USA v. Algeria game.  We started the day with a stop to see Jeremiah to pick up the tickets for the game tomorrow.  Then off to Petoria.  We arrived early and had time to paint John's face again.  We used the park and walk this time and the parking was very organized and the walk was fun.  We ran into the Mustache guy again before entering the stadium.  Once again, we had great seats.  We even got to see Bill Cliton before the match started.  The match was very stressful.  John feels that the US should have scored at least four goals.  We had several opportunities.  Halftime score 0-0.  End of Second half 0-0 and then in the 3 added minutes of play, Landon Donavan comes through and the final score is 1-0.  You should have heard the USA fans.  They stayed after the match for some celebrations and the USA players and staff walked around the field and thanked the fans.  England wins their match against Slovenia 1-0 as well.  But we have more goals so we won the group.  Next match for USA is against Ghana.
