Coupe du monde: victoire des États-Unis contre le Ghana

Le foot ou soccer américain est relativement populaire chez nos voisins du sud, mais une victoire de l'équipe nationale en Coupe du monde n'étant pas chose courante, le Washington Post réserve une portion de sa première page à l'exploit. John Brooks confie qu'il aurait rêvé de son but victorieux deux jours plus tôt.

 "Amid bedlam at Arena das Dunas, substitute John Brooks, 21, scored in the 86th minute — just four minutes after Andre Ayew had canceled out Clint Dempsey’s goal, which came 29 seconds into the match.

Brooks, a 6-foot-4 German American defender who replaced injured Matt Besler at halftime, stung an eight-yard downward header from Graham Zusi’s corner kick past goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey.

He celebrated for a moment, then, perhaps not believing what he had done in just his fifth U.S. appearance, lay on his stomach with his face buried in his arms and the grass for an extended period.

Two days earlier, “I had a dream. I told some teammates I dreamed I scored in the 80th minute and we win the game,” he said. “Now it was the 86th minute, and we won.”

In the dream, he said, “I also scored on a header. . . . It was my first dream [about scoring]. Hopefully not the last.”
