For anyone who doesn’t know, I’m a huge Futbol/Soccer Fan.  I’ll watch any game, anywhere.  For years I coached my son, who has gone on to play competitively, outgrowing my coaching skills by far.  So we’ve been looking forward to World Cup 2014 for a long time, and now it’s here.  Soccer holds a special place in our hearts here in the Antich Household…but when psychic stuff gets tied in with soccer –  well I can just about lose my mind.  Check it out.

There’ve been some great games, great goals, and  for anyone who hasn’t heard, an amazing premonition by American player Jon Brooks.  Here’s the goal – and if you listen close you can hear the commentator say,

“HE COULDN’T HAVE EVEN DREMPT IT.”


But actually, he did.  He drempt it two days earlier.

And here’s what makes this story even more incredible and unbelievable.  Brooks is a SUB.  So, the probability of him even playing was very very slim.  He  ONLY went in because someone got hurt.

He is the FIRST SUB EVER IN US HISTORY TO SCORE A GOAL.  FIRST SUB EVER TO SCORE A GOAL.  IN US HISTORY.  Do you understand what I am saying??!  He drempt it was 88th minute…and scored in the 86th.

THAT IS AMAZING.  I AM LOVING THIS BEAUTIFUL GAME.  Oh and if you haven’t seen it, here is some marketing I can actually get behind, nice job Coca Cola.  🙂

 This year we aren’t different, we compete, we root, we share, we scream and we cry,

We LOVE the Beautiful Game.
