Those were the words of Winston Churchill, taken from a broadcast to the British people on the eve of war's outbreak in 1940. Today, they happen to apply perfectly to a more pleasant topic than war - the U.S. national soccer team and its narrow, last second victory over Algeria. The win propels our boys to the World Cup's 16-team elimination round. Considering the context and drama it is surely one of the most memorable moments in U.S. soccer history.
Said Team USA hero Landon Donovan after the game:
"I used to see this game we play as just a game, and I think I've realized particularly during this tournament that it's more than that. It's an opportunity to inspire...I think tonight is going to do a lot more for me and other people than maybe we'll realize."
