Please end in a tie!


We were able to attend the MLS allstar game, without Jayben. Wow! That makes it a date! The game was good. Except that during the first half of the game we sat behind these people who would wave the flag every time the ball would come on our side of the field. And when I asked them to stop they would wave it more. Annoying. I appreciate patriotism but please do not wave the flag in front of our faces when I actually paid to sit this close to the field and you have been seat hopping. The drunk guys behind us annoyed me less than the people who don't have flag etiquette.
So for the second half we sat with Jamie and Chris at Midfield. What a great view for that half. Nobody was blocking our view. The game ended just the way Ben wanted; in a tie. That means Penalty kicks! We realized that the penalty kicks would take place at the goal where our seats were originally, so we ran! Yes, I ran. We got to our seats in perfect time. And hooray. No flag in my face!
It was the ideal situation. The current (Tim Howard) US national team goalie vs. the old
(Casey Keller). They made some amazing blocks! Which I caught a few on video. We were extremely jealous when we saw Zak on the field. Ok, it's not Zak it's Connor Casey but Jayben thinks he looks like Zak and we have to agree. The MLS ended up losing on one of the weakest PK's I've ever seen. I think I could have kicked it better. It was a great night and fun game.

Didn't you know that Zak IS Connor Casy??? He changes his name to play professional soccer, so no one will know it is him. Kinda like Superman!
Looks like you had a fun time!
You want to go to the USA VS El Salvador game?
