The faithful will have to wait another four years to even have a chance to see our USA team play in the World Cup. The Algeria game was a super high, after 91 minutes of heartbreak, we were saved, today after 120 minutes we are broken. Forced to drink and think about those damn Rowdies and then the tainted meat of flounder. At this point, a couple of Timber victories here can erase the thoughts of what could have been for the US.
As, the ads say the US is respected, but respect is not enough, we proved that we are a team on the world stage, 6 straight WC appearances after a 40 year drought is something to be proud of. Now the focus is on to build the next squad of men who can take the US to the next level. 2014 and 2022 sounds millions of miles away, but the thought that a Timber or someone who came up through our team, represents us on the world's biggest stage is a fun and powerful thought.
The beautiful game is growing, here, Africa, Asia, Central America, Europe, South America and throughout the Pacific Ocean. The world continues to produce better footballers, teams and love for the game. The Timbers Army only continues to grow and influence. The Cascade rivalry continues to grow and represents the loyalty, that football brings. We, the faithful are in the midst of something special.
A round of 16 game that felt better than today.
