Back from the abyss

54 hours
1700 miles
and a 2-0 victory later
and I'm back from Columbus.

It was simply magical. There are few games that I've watched where the time just seems to flow by unnoticed. The entire crowd at Crew Stadium was on its feet from the kickoff until after the final whistle (well, the Mexican fans sat down, actually.) At the 40th minute, I looked at the scoreboard across the stadium and was shocked to see how late in the match it was--time was just flying by. After Beasely scored his second goal, the Sam's Army section went mental and it was a party on the terraces for the next hour. The final 30 minutes of the game were practically unimportant as we celebrated qualifying for the World Cup.
