Confederations Cup: U.S. Surprise Top-ranked Spain
24-Jun, 2009
Missiles, shmissiles. What North Korean missiles? After getting beat by Italy (3-1) and clobbered by Brazil (3-0), the U.S. squad shocked us all today by beating #1 ranked Spain in a Confederations Cup semifinal match. Goals by Jozy Altidore (25th min) and Clint Dempsey (73rd min) led the U.S. squad to a 2-0 victory. The boys in red, white, and blue will play defending champion Brazil or host South Africa on Sunday in its first men’s final at a FIFA competition. Wow.

Will Ryan Giggs Be the Next Sir Alex?
8-May, 2008
English Premier League (EPL) football team, Manchester United appears set to win the EPL this year, having one more game against Wigan. Another exciting event, however, may perhaps trump the Red Devils’ celebration, at least for one player. Winger, Ryan Giggs, is about to reach a 759-game milestone in the Champions League final on May 21st, surpassing club director Bobby Charlton’s record number of appearances for the club.
The 34 year old Welshman would certainly end his season in style by scoring 100 goals in 519 league appearances, topping the club’s current number of appearances record, and winning the Premiership and Champions League. Will Giggs call it quits after the 2009 season? There is also speculation that Giggs might replace the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, when the current manager decides to retire. I still think about that amazing day, when I had my picture taken with Ryan Giggs. Ahh, the memories.
