They say photos are worth a thousand words. Well this one certainly is. Everyone’s head is down – everyone is concentrating – everyone is smiling.

The President then congratulated Donovan on the game-winning goal, asked Tim Howard how his ribs were feeling and asked Clint Dempsey how his lip was doing. The President wished the team good luck on Saturday and made sure they knew that the entire country was cheering them on.

“It was certainly an honor to have President Obama take the time to speak to our team,” said Bradley. “We are immensely proud of the opportunity to represent the United States, and to have the President reinforce that feeling is something we greatly appreciate. The support we have received from the U.S. fans that have traveled to South Africa as well as everyone following back home has been very gratifying and is a source of inspiration for our players. That is something we will carry with us when we step on the field this weekend.”

You made it happen boys and just like Barack we are proud of you.

Now let’s get it done against Ghana!

    I sure hope Bill Clinton was able to convince the heads of FIFA to bring the World Cup back to the USA in 2018.

    As I have said in the past, I don’t think 2018 will happen but I would say there’s a good chance it will in 2022.
