The Red Sox game had just ended (they won in extra innings), so Lew and I decided to check out the soccer game. Neither one of us are big soccer fans, but we felt we should have some knowledge of what's going on -- especially since there's so much talk about the World Cup.
The score was tied, 1-1, when we started watching. When the USA scored a goal to make it 2-1, I was very excited. With a win, the USA would secure a spot in the next round! Woo-hoo!
Well....
There is this thing in soccer called "stoppage time", which I find very confusing. When is the game really going to end? Do the players even know?
My "woo-hoo" became a "boo-hoo" as Portugal tied the game in the final seconds of stoppage time.
And that's how the game ended. In a tie.
My nerves were shot.
I think 20 minutes of the World Cup may have been enough for me!
But still.... Go, USA!
