    One year ago today (probably right around this time, actually), the US qualified for the World Cup.

    Thanks again, boys, for doing us proud!

    I actually had forgotten about it all day, then driving home from work I got pulled over by a cop. On the way up to that game I got pulled over for doing 51 in a 35( i was excited + Pumped). Got a nast ticket, and points as well.

    Today I get pulled over for doing 51 in a 35, and while i'm in the car waiting, i remember the date, and i remembered a year ago. Brought a smile to my face, remembering that great diving header in the opening minutes, and how great the crowd was that day.

    Ha...best thing about today...I only got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. If I get pulled over next year on this date I'm gonna start thinking something is very strange.

    I remembered it because I saw a news crawl that said that today was the anniversary of when we started bombing Afghanistan, and then I remembered that I heard about that as I was walking into Foxboro.

    I remember being a little upset that the game wasn't broadcasted because (of course) the US started bombing and the news was all over it. Then the next day when I found out we qualifed it made me realize how proud I was to be an American soccer fan. A good day it was.....

    I noticed the same thing looking at the Today in History in my local paper. Made me smile.

    Same here.

    I just rewatched the last few minutes after we had won and we were waiting for the results from the other two matches.

    Great stuff.

    I remember that, after the players did a fairly typical post-game celebration, things got calmer on the field. Then you saw some players jumping around and the celebration picked up again. We saw that and thought, "Wait a sec. Do they know the results?" A few minutes later the scores were announced over the PA system and the place erupted. Even the Jamaicans were joining in.

    hey can anyone make me a copy of that game? I never got to see it, I only heard about it. PM me if you can do it, I'll pay for the cost and shipping of course.
