Watched the England-USA match here in Williamstown Massachusetts at The Log on Spring Street. There were probably about 200 people there, most of them American, and the atmosphere was great. When the game ended, people cheered as if the US had won the game. Tying England was indeed a wonderful result for the US. The US team played well as a team. Clearly the goalie Tim Howard was the best player on the field and kept the US afloat. But the unsung hero of the US team was the midfielder Michael Bradley, the son of the US coach. He is the "Makelele" on the American team. He does all the dirty work and is a great defensive midfielder. He is exactly the type of player the English team needs out in the field.
My daughter Karen Magnea and her friend Ada dressed up in patriotic American attire for the game and painted their faces. They were the most colorful fans in the room.
