After traveling 890 miles on a bicycle throughout a very small portion of the United States of America, midwest...the Iowa Lakes Soccer coaching staff had a new perception of American people and the beautiful American landscape the last few weeks.
But, personally, after serving 6 years to help preserve our freedom as a member of the United States Navy....the U.S. National Soccer team has finally demonstrated what many of us strive for on a daily basis through the simply and beautiful game of soccer. A work hard, positive and never say quite attitude that embodies the values that MOST Americans strive for.
After watching the following video, I, Kevin Farley...the strong, tough person that doesn't show much feeling...honestly, broke down ito tears. The celebration the unfolds around the world due to the goal by Landon Donovan is the exact reason that we, in America, grow up living the dream and playing a variety of sports.
I love America. I love the game of soccer. I dream of Landon Donovan and his fellow teammates to continue exhibiting this "never say quite" attitude and shocking the world, and all those Americans that always said soccer was never a sport. If you are American...you will support this attitude...this team...this will. Please enjoy the video.
USA, USA, USA!!!!!
