Reaction to Donovan's Soccer Goal



Danziger, on his blog The Year in Pictures (on my blog list on the right), explains:
"Watching Landon Donovan’s game winning goal on Wednesday Purdue University senior Robby Denoho and decided it merited an instant tribute which he posted to YouTube. Within hours, the video had gone viral, and as the American players headed to bed on Friday night ahead of their round-of-16 match against Ghana in Rustenburg, more than 350,000 viewers had tuned in.

"It also didn’t take long for the video to get to Donovan himself. For all of the plaudits the American soccer star received after his moment of glory, it was seeing the reaction his goal provoked that touched him the most. "Not sure if you guys saw this but it brings tears to my eyes every time,” Donovan wrote on his Facebook account."

That is an incredible video, it's one of those real-life sports movies that is off the charts inspiring and moistens up the eyes a bit. Thanks for posting it!
