Flags of Our Fathers

"Flags of Our Fathers" ("Flags of Our Fathers") was a great movie directed by Clint Eastwood and released in 2006. The story revolved around the true story of six soldiers who raised the American flag at the battle of Iwo Jima, decisive in the Second World War. The dramas experienced by some members of the U.S. military who were present on the Japanese island, and after erect the flag, went on a sort of U.S. tour to raise funds in order to maintain the army the country in Japan, continuing the worldwide conflict.

Yesterday, the starting number of 38 World Cup in South Africa, held in Tshwane, faced U.S. and Algeria and the comparison is inevitable. The U.S. was prepared for a war in order for the classification round of the Cup. In the previous game, selected the U.S. was hampered by poor officiating Koman Coulibaly of

referee of Mali, which invalidated a legitimate goal, accusing impediment nonexistent. Needing just one goal for his classification, the U.S. faced not only in Algeria yesterday's game, but again the referee's whistle wrong Belgian Frank De Bleeckere again aborting a legitimate goal of "yankees." After circling the area in Algeria for nearly the entire game - losing unbelievable goals, say by the way - at 46 minutes after the break finally came the redemption of a team that was "to waiting for a miracle ": the goal of classification, marked by Landon Donovan, a veteran "war" on U.S. team. Came the "Flags of Our Fathers" for the team. This post is not intended to analyze this game tactically. What deserves attention, no doubt, is the realization of growth and progress that had football in the U.S. over the years. If earlier he had participated in World Cups (the U.S. in 1950 were in Brazil, including the winning England), football won promotion in the 1970s, when Pele, Carlos Alberto, Franz Beckenbauer, among others, played in "football show" Team New York Cosmos.

Yet for almost two decades football was relegated to the obscurity of being a sport "boring" - after all, basketball, American football and even baseball, the scores were larger and more appealing to the public - let's not forget the vocation of business they have.

In 1994, when finally hosted its first World Cup - won by Brazil - the U.S. gave impusionada new sport. Full stadiums - not always of Americans born since the country is an immense "Melting pot", hosting several colonies of immigrants - Italians, Irish, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican and even Brazilians from Governador Valadares (MG). Still, the U.S. escrete was crude and even seen through the prism of being picturesque. After all, what point in football qualities embodied in the figure of Alex Lalas - who looked more like rocker-biker Harley-Davidson?

The Confederations Cup, held in South Africa last year, fes emergence of a new football produced by the U.S.. Led by good coach Bob Bradley, the Americans rebounded from the ashes after an unpromising start. When looked eliminated, resurfaced and went to the tournament final, facing Brazil. In the first half, a ball in the U.S. (2-0), while Brazil only managed to turn the match in the second half. There, the U.S. soccer would ever show their progress.

The draw against "mighty" England (1-1) and the new tie with Slovenia (2 to 2, and, with the U.S. being, as already pointed out, hurt by arbitration), confirmed that the U.S. came ready to make history in this tournament. They came to conquer his honor in the world soccer scene.

The next match will be against willful Africans from Ghana. It will be another battle. It may be that the Americans win and fighting spirit displayed in three previous matches confirms they are in the up position in football. But if they lose, there will be a Hollywood disaster. Will make sure that planning, organizaçãoe only make sense of collectivity add to business success of the sport.
