About This Quote
In the 2008 Summer Olympics, the United States men’s soccer team won a gold medal for the first time in history. In the final four minutes of the game against Brazil, American goalkeeper Tim Howard scored a goal to tie the score at 2-2, and then an own goal by Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos gave the Americans a 3-2 lead with 25 seconds left in regulation time. That’s when coach Bruce Arena made a life-changing decision. He substituted goalie Josh Wolff for Eddie Johnson. Johnson scored again in five minutes, giving the Americans a 4-2 win and a berth in the gold medal game.
