What was your favorite game you have ever seen? This includes any sport or boxing or MMA event. So what was your favorite?
Mine has always been the 1980 USA Olympic Hockey win over the Soviet Union. I actually cry over that victory and even the movies have not done them justice. They don't talk about the crooked refs either from East Germany or Czechvokia(spelling) trying to throw it to the Soviet Union. How we had 18 year old kids vs huge Soviet pros who were in they're prime as men in their 20s and 30s. How our guys were diving in front of the puck to block slapshots sacrificing their bodies. How we were actually short a man when Eruzione scored the winning goal sticking to the crooked refs and their crap. How Buzz Snyder shot from almost halfway line from the rink and scored . How Mark Johnson scored right before the period end ,I think 1 second was on the clock.Soviets were the ranked #1 team I think for like 7 years in the world and we were not suppose to be there. The game was AWESOME. ..That game meant so much ,it changed our attitude as Americans to believe we were not on the downswing. That game gave us hope and pride. USA!!USA!!USA!!!
