Sports are good for you!

Some sports are seeing historic events today.

First, the US side won against the Algerian side scoring a single goal in the 91st minute. American Landon Donovan scored on rebound off the Algerian keeper during the four minutes of stoppage time.

Early in the match, there was a US goal that was not counted due to a call of offsides. The Algerians played rough and made the US really work for their single goal.

The US not only won their match but also won the Group. England also scored a single goal in its match against Slovenia. It was enough to put both through to the Knockout round. The Us will play the runner up for Group D. At the moment, Germany and Ghana are leading Group D and they are playing each other currently - as in RIGHT NOW!

Secondly, Wimbledon.

Two men: an American named John Isner and a Frenchman named Nicolas Mahut have been locked in an epic battle at Wimbledon, one stretching over two days. In a match that began Tuesday night and was suspended because of darkness after four sets, Isner and Mahut have now played the longest tennis match in history.

As I type this, they are still locked in this contest with their fifth set approaching the 50's!

It's amazing how methodical this match has been. No controversy, no close calls. Just rhythmic, incessant tennis. Not unlike Chinese Water Torture!
