Cape Town, RSA
It was the final game of the first round so there were two games on at the same time, and many places were showing the England game instead of the USA game. We found a place on Long Street, The Dubliner, that was showing England-Slovenia on the first floor and USA-Algeria on the second floor. It was fun to have camaraderie with other American soccer fans. Everyone stood and sang the American National Anthem together at the beginning of the game. It was pretty exciting because we knew we needed to score and we could hear the cheer from below when England scored first. There were lots of USA fans gathered there and it erupted when Donovan scored his late goal for the win! While the camera was protected, we were covered in beer by the end. It was great, fabulous fun!
