Whereas it was a friendly…
Whereas players on both sides were absent…
Whereas Mexico controlled the match…
Whereas the Incredible Diving Chicharito missed on a seemingly endless amount of would-be goals…
We still declare that…
Whereas Jurgen Klinsmann has won on Italian soil with this U.S. crew…
Whereas Timothy Howard is a man amongst boys between the sticks…
Whereas Klinsmann inserted a young player (Brek Shea) whom he believed in despite months of horrendous play at FC Dallas in Major League Soccer…
Whereas Ziggy Marley and three substitutes combined for a freak, fortunate, fantastic goal…
Whereas the United States WAS 0-23-1 at matches in Mexico…
Whereas that Mexican side is the most bitter of footballing foes we Americans have…
NOW, THEREFORE, on this day, the 15th of August in the year 2012 at Stadia Azteca in Mexico, the United States defeated Mexico by a score of 1-0, moving me firmly into Camp Klinsmann as a believer in this era of US Soccer.
USA. USA. USA.
