The World Soccer [Football] Dream Team lies in the US Soccer [Football] Team. While they may have their defects, the US Soccer [Football] Team in the majority of cases has become the dream team that people do not know exists. An example of how the US Soccer [Football] Team is the World Soccer [Football] Dream Team was its victory over Sweden in its game dated the 19th of January 2008.
The USA and Sweden Men’s Football [Soccer] met in the Home Depot Center in Carson California. What was going to be a typical game with numerous bookings and substitutions ended becoming a historical game for US Football [Soccer].
Eddie Robinson [with assistance from Pat Noonan] became the forty fourth player in the history of US Football [Soccer] to a goal in a first cap. This act of history occurred within the 15th Minute of the Game.
Landon Donovan scored in the second half of the game with a penalty kick in the 48th minute. Landon Donovan with this goal became the leading scorer of all times in US Football [Soccer].
The USA in Football has shown itself to be well disciplined and organized. In spite of the mistakes of the past in Copa America 2007, they can still prove that there is fire in the game. What the USA has to do is reinforce the discipline and organization. I have faith that this could happen.
Landon Donovan and Eddie Robinson has proved to be the base of the present game. Landon Donovan and Eddie Robinson deserve to be remembered for their history making actions in US Football [Soccer]. My congratulations to Landon Donovan and Eddie Robinson.
Sweden on the other hand was unable to produce a goal or much less manifest resistance against the USA. Many reasons were the lack of organization, discipline, and the home town advantage for the USA.
