Washington, June 19: Half-time and things are looking bleak for the United States as they trail Slovenia 2-0 in their vital World Cup match.
The owner of the Lucky Bar feels the need to lift the spirits of 250 supporters crammed into the pub and springs into the action.
Soon Bruce Springsteen’s “Born In the USA” is blaring out before the owner grabs a microphone to exhort his customers: “Hey, wait, it’s not over.”
The ESPN television match commentator is in agreement.
“If they can score one goal, Slovenia will be a little bit shaky”.
Sam Spencer, a 21-year-old student who has played football since he could walk, is refusing to give up hope.
“If North Korea can score one goal against Brazil, we can score two goals against Slovenia,” Spencer says.
