Laker guard Derek Fisher was having a quiet night, shooting just 0-5 from 3 point land, up until the final 5 seconds of regulation where he made the biggest shot of his career ever. That’s right, this shot was bigger than the one he made against the Spurs a few years back with only 0.4 seconds remaining. Because of this shot, the Lakers were able to tie the game and go into overtime where they won quite easily, Fisher hitting another big 3.

Soccer Team USA Destroys Trinidad and Tobago

After last weeks stellar comeback from being down 2 goals versus El Salvador, the US looked to get things back on track. And that’s exactly what they did as they trounced the team at the bottom of the North America division three to zero. Jozy Altidore was the hero of this game, scoring all three goals and being one of few to ever score a hat-trick in a World Cup qualifying match. All three assists came from veteran Landon Donnovan, who placed all three balls perfectly for Altidore to “put the bow on” and take care of business. Check out his goals below.

The United States lead their division with 7 points, competing against talented teams, such as Costa Rica and bitter-rival Mexico, who they face this coming August.Things look promising for the red, white, and blue as there are only 7 games left for qualifications.

USA Defeats Mexico 2-0 in World Cup Qualifier

In Columbus, Ohio, team USA took on Mexico for one of the world cup classification rounds. The U.S. has not lost to Mexico on home turf for over 8 years, and they kept that streak alive as they defeated the Mexicans by a score of 2-0. Both goals were scored by Michael Bradley and both assists came from all-star Landon Donovan. Another notable fact about these two goals is that they both came right before the end of a half, the first one scored during the 45th minute, and the last one in the 89th minute; talk about waiting it out ’til the last minute.

Glad to see that the United States is off to a great start and let’s hope they are more prepared for this year’s world cup (taking place in Africa, 2010) than they were in 2006, where they failed to advance from the preliminaries with a record of 0-2-1.
