I do not have a video camera or You Tube to share my experiences. It is for this reason that I share it with the US Soccer Team in the comment section.

I was afraid that my US Soccer team were going to be defeated by the referrees that were not friendly especially when one goal was denied to us.

I saw the game on ESPN and Univision only to witness the referrees favouring the Algerian team. My heart was one filled with anger at how such injustices could be allowed.

I went back to work and forgot about the game until later on in the day. A friend told me that she saw the whole game including Donovan scoring the goal.

My reaction was very emotional with tears of joy and a sense of gratitude. I celebrated by thanking God in my heart and then going to have lunch in the restaurant in front of my workplace.

I still remember the joy that I had when Donovan scored and hearing the song «Waka Waka» interpreted by Shakira brought back such a great memory of 2010.
