Hello and welcome to Soccer 101.

0:13.7

My name is Daryl Grove and I'm joined by a man who recently rewatched a game from 2009.

0:20.1

His name is Joe Larry.

0:21.6

Hello, Joe.

0:22.4

Hey, Daryl.

0:22.9

How are you doing?

0:23.9

I'm doing much better after watching this game.

0:26.4

It is USA versus Spain, the 2009 Confederation's Cup semi-final.

0:32.3

Here's my quick take, Joe, and see if you agree.

0:34.8

Not as high definition as I expected.

0:37.1

I think that's very fair to say. I think a lot of us who've been going back to watch

So it's possible, it's possible to navigate, but you've got to have your glasses on if you need glasses. You've got to be paying close attention. Yes, I did not take my glasses off for this, for this particular viewing. I want to set up the context of this game, Joe, before we get into the details.

1:28.0

Because I'm really aware that people may not even know this game has happened or definitely

1:31.4

won't know the details.

1:32.8

So, first of all, the Confederations Cup is a tournament that does not exist anymore, right?

1:38.1

It's not.

1:38.7

Yeah, it's gone.
