gooaall! - the hard way

Soccer is a sport that is growing in the U.S. But often there are some that think the game just doesn't have interesting moments. While fans of futbol know this to be untrue, here is something that might help prove the point.

Southern Methodist University was playing No. 16 Tulsa. A frshman named Ryan Rosenbaum, who is a defensive player, kicked the ball to clear it from his teams side of the pitch (field). He not only cleared his side, he made a moment that stands out.



95 yards, essentially a football field. That's impressive. And not only was it the first goal for the freshman Rosenbaum - it was his first shot on goal! What a way to start off.

This has been a week for the upstarts indeed. I wonder if they will move Rosenbaum to offense now?
