From the NYT live blog of the US - Algeria match, won by the US in extra time:
My window is open here in Manhattan, and when the Americans scored, you could hear the roar in the street. I’ve never heard anything quite like that here, to be honest. I’m sure that’s what it was like everywhere across the US and wherever Americans were watching this game.I've read stories of summers in Brooklyn and the sound of radios from every door broadcasting the voice of Red Barber calling Dodgers games. It sounds like Manhattan must have been a little like that where Jeff Klein was.

But in the end, they won.
