3 Quick Thoughts About #USMNT Win Yesterday vs Ghana

Heroic win by Team USA. Amazing first goal, even sweeter winner. Here are the 3 things I noticed yesterday:

1. Cameron played exceptional at centreback. Composed and willing to put in a tackle at crucial times. By far the best player on the pitch for Team USA.

2. Some of the best attacking by Team USA came from Fabian Johnson combining with Bedoya on the right flank. Only happened twice but each time gave USA great chances to expand their lead.

3. USA needs to find a different way to play with Altidore injured. They kept looking for the long ball after he was taken off and didn't have a proper striker for holding up the ball.

Bruins make Luongo eat his words...send the Cup finals to 7

The Bruins bounced back from another one goal defeat in Vancouver on Friday night in Game 5 to once again to dominate on home ice. The black and gold jumped out to a 4-0 first period and never looked back on their way to a 5-2 victory in Game 6 tonight. The Bruins chased Vancouver starting goalie Roberto Luongo in the first period and made him eat his words between games where he took shots at Bruins goalie Tim Thomas for not playing the "normal" style for a goalie. Luongo is a punk-ass bitch from Canada who only plays well at home and when the team around him does. He cannot steal a game for this team and the Bruins need to have that confidence going back to Vancouver on Wednesday in the decisive Game 7. Let's go B's.

World Hockey Championship Update

A while back I posted about the International Hockey World Championships, being held this year in Germany. The tournament has been underway for a little while, with Team USA struggling early on. The US lost its first 3 games to Germany, Finland, and Denmark. This put the US in danger of being dropped from the First Tier Hockey countries in International play. But Team USA managed to right the ship with a blowout 10-0 win over Kazakhstan. Former Terrier Matt Gilroy paced Team USA with a hat trick in the win. The US then added another win, this team a 4-0 victory of France, to solidify their International standing. Team USA finishes up with Italy on Tuesday, hoping to pull to an even 3-3 for the tournament with a victory.

Here's a Gilroy Q and A from the USA Hockey website for your reading pleasure. And in case any of you forgot what Matty Gilroy plays like...
