U.S.-ARG: Do You Remember the First Time?



Remember the last time the Yanks played Argentina in New Jersey? I do. It was 106 degrees with 200% humidity* for most of the day and we decided to start tailgating at 10am for a 7pm match. By 2pm it seemed like just surviving until kickoff would have been victory enough. And then these 3 dudes from Louisiana rolled up with an RV full of boudin & venison sausage for Matt D. and I to eat while we drank Shiner Bock and shot toy guns in the parking lot. Good times.

As for the game, it was the most entertaining nil-nil freindly draw you could ever ask to see. And when it starting raining in the final, frenetic 10 minutes it officially went from entertaining to epic. There is no way hell tomorrow's game will match up to that without aid of a Juan Agudelo & Jozy Altidore all-Red Bull golazo fest but it should be fun watching them try. Go, go USA!
