No but it was pretty damn cool. I was watching and didn't know what to do with myself. I just wanted to hug somebody, anybody.

Ugly Bastard · 06-23-2010, 11:42 AM

G-G-G-G-GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

(I broke f3lix's ceiling fan in celebration)

Awesome feeling....

Ugly Bastard · 06-23-2010, 11:43 AM

No. Amazing and got me excited, but it's was still pool play. Do that in the final 8 or beyond and then maybe.

Exactly, those are the moments best spent having some beers in a bar.

Ugly Bastard · 06-23-2010, 12:19 PM

Second or third most excited I've ever been as a result of a sporting event.

#1: New York Giants 4th Quarter TD in Super Bowl XLII
and possibly #2: US goal vs. England though I think today's would have been more exciting if I was as shitfaced as I was for England.

BigDongedHoe · 06-23-2010, 12:32 PM

#1 Indiana beating Duke in the sweet 16 in 2002. Pretty much that entire run to the title game is #1.
#2 Indiana kicking a FG to beat Purdue in 2007 and advance to a bowl game for the first time since 1993.
#3 Colts beating the Patriots to advance to the Super Bowl in 2007/Winning the Super Bowl

Pathetically hometown and unappreciative towards the world of sports.

BigDongedHoe · 06-23-2010, 01:18 PM

Yeah you're right cause I wasn't put in an IU jumper and hat at 3 days old or taken to numerous games at Assembly Hall and Memorial Stadium at such a young age I have no recollection.

You're so flamingly stupid it's unbelieveable. If lived in Warsaw, Indiana, Los Angeles, California, or Tokyo, Japan I would still love the Hoosiers, Cubs, and Colts.

Agree that the England goal was maybe a better feeling (being drunk, being with other crazies, etc)...but that doesn't make it a better sporting moment. I'm talking about the other side of the picture, not what's going on where you're viewing from.

We're talking about the entire country watching this game, pulling out each hair at the fact that the US can't put one away. Watching England go up 1-0 to make a goal an absolute must. Watching ANOTHER fucking ref blunder that robs a goal (though at least this one was a little closer this time). And then, in extra time, Donovan putting one away and immediately going from ultimate fail to ultimate win.

Yes, I wish I would have been in a sports bar. And yes, perhaps I did more jumping and shit when the England goal went in (though I did break a sweat running around the house after this goal). That said, I still believe this is the greatest sporting moment I've watched live.

DDTempest · 06-23-2010, 01:50 PM

what happened?

SittinOnDubsWGW · 06-23-2010, 02:16 PM

US scored a goal in the 91st minute of the game to win and move on to the second round of the WC.

Also, agreed that I wish I would've been at a sports bar. however I'm waiting on my motherfucking car to get fixed so I can get my ass up to phoenix.

You can be a real idiot sometimes. Real fans support their hometown clubs. Losers support somebody else.

BigDongedHoe · 06-23-2010, 03:19 PM

So following up the US goal as an ureal sporting moment I spent the next 4 1/2 hours watching the longest tennis match in history.

59-59 in the 5th set and it's still not over and has to start back up tomorrow. Most unbelieveable tennis match I've seen in my entire life.

You're right. Why should I ever argue with a person who has an imaginary friend?

f3lix · 06-23-2010, 03:33 PM

The tennis match is historic and amazing. The sad part, is how many people will call it the greatest match ever when there is no way it's better than Federer/Nadal Wimby 08. These two are both serve and volley players who offer little more. It's all offense and no defense.

HOLY SHIT. F3lix, we agree on something. Once again, entertaining, but lacks the luster of two greats playing back and forth Tennis.

Orgazmo · 06-23-2010, 05:00 PM

Agreed on the tennis front. Watching this is great...but it's more about watching the number grow while saying, "Holy shit..." rather than watching the actual play.

BigDongedHoe · 06-23-2010, 05:47 PM

Agreed on all fronts. Its definitely not the greatest match, but definitely the most unbelievable.

Fed/Roddick 09 Wimbledon, Fed/Nadal 08' Wimbledon, Sampras/Agassi 01 US Open, and a number of Bjorg/McEnroe (Wimbledon) and Jimmy Connors matches were much better. In fact the quality of tennis is pretty lame, both guys have giant serves and they aren't serve and volleyers as f3lix said. They pound their serves and Isner has a pretty giant forehand. There have been nearly no long rallies and the quality of tennis outside of great serves has been fairly poor.

I'll be anxious to see how fresh Isner's legs are tomorrow seeing how hard he was sucking wind towards the end of the match.

Beebs · 06-23-2010, 11:33 PM

Other moments have felt more awe-inspiring and amazing, mostly due to me being younger, like the "snow bowl" game with Notre Dame vs Penn State.

In terms of sheer visceral emotion, as an adult, this took it hands down, emotion on both a personal level and the amount of attention and importance throughout the world.

The entire world, including America for once, was watching, and Donovan did it in the most dramatic way imaginable; things just so rarely turn out that way.

It was a strange group of emotions in fast succession: first was relief, relief that there would be no horrible sick to my stomach feeling, next was strangely a sort of cathartic anger, just a pure primal rage at all everybody who didn't want it to happen, from the smug traditional powers of the game to the idiots who actively cheer against soccer, the of course was the pure childlike joy.

Ugly Bastard · 06-24-2010, 12:35 AM

I was mostly just relieved/joyful until now, but you make a good point on how nice it feels to be rageful towards the haters.
