YES!!! It means a lot, and was quite unexpected. You could see the US team struggling, though; they're playing a bit out of their league. Let's see how they fare against Germany...

I have the VCR running every night, and watch as many of the games as possible. Even my wife, who doesn't care about sports, is passionate about the World Cup. The level of skill involved has turned her into a fan of the game.

Cheers,
