The World Cup in New York, Part II

Only one minute in the game between the United States and Algeria mattered: the 91st, when Landon Donovan annulled atrocious calls from referees that stripped Team USA of two previous goals and coolly finished off Algeria to send the US atop of their group ahead of England and into the next stage of the World Cup. Donovan smartly followed a rebound from Clint Dempsey’s late shot, and buried the ball in the back of the net, generating an uproar in a city that otherwise rarely stops for anything at noon on a Wednesday.

Among the most fanatic were the fans who watched the game at the Lower East Side’s Nevada Smiths. The legendary soccer bar fit a few hundred American fans who took off work to watch their team win. This is how they reacted to the game, play by play.

    a fellow student and friend has passed away, and instead of providing any sort of memorial or apology, you self-promote a tumblr and a set of lame photos? disgusting. stop pretending that you care about your audience, spec.

      in case it is…do you know of any publications that stop reporting on everything else when there is a death or tragedy? THAT would be disgraceful. continuing to publish articles in no way reflects spec or its editors feelings about the tragic news received earlier this week. life goes on; i feel confident that rachel would not want it any other way.

    From what I learned. St. Paul did say ealxtcy that. The context is what is needed. In this time period, men in church were silent except for the priest/leader, supposed to be praying, etc. The women did not get involved in this practice, but gossiped with each other in the back. St. Paul is inviting them into the prayer group, so to speak.
