I was at the game.......and the article was right. There were so many fans sporting Gautamalan flags and colors, facepaint and hats......the support of their country was wonderful.

But there were so many fans supporting the US team as well. (They just didn't show up as early) When the national anthems were played, there were so many singing the Guatamalan anthem. It was very moving, the support that was shown. When our National Anthem was played, I was moved again by the singing that followed! I don't usually participate in the singing of the anthem, but last night, I was truly proud to be an American!

The game was fierce, very intense. At the end of it all, the US players, particularly goalkeeper Casey Keller, stayed on the field, clapping and thanking the fans for their support. A wonderful show!

It was a very exciting game, and I'm so glad I was able to be there!!!

How was Sam's Army? I haven't seen the photos yet.
