The Chicago Blackhawks finished off the Philadelphia Flyers last night to win the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals. Go Blackhawks! It was a hell of an effort, although a climactic/anticlimactic overtime goal to win it in overtime. Credit to the Flyers. They are a hell of a team. I won't soon forget names like Hartnell, Richards, Pronger or Briere. More credit to the Blackhawks for pulling through. Names like Toews, Kane, Niemi, Keith, and Bfyuglien will live in my memories even longer.
Now, however, it's time to refocus on the next big sporting event, The World Cup. The US soccer team kicks off their World Cup aspirations against England Saturday evening in South Africa. A win over England would start the tournament off with a bang.
This year the USA side sports names like Tim Howard, Landon Donovan, Freddy Adu, Clint Dempsey, and Chicagoland local (Arlington Heights) Jonathan Spector - all of which have English Premier League experience.
Good luck boys! See if you can steal some points from the Three Lions!
