We were in Hilton Head visiting Ellen’s parents when the US played Ghana.
We were able to see the first US goal which was very exciting (and unexpected), scored in the first 35 seconds of the match. Around half-time we went out to dinner (I guess illustrating that we are interested but not fanatic soccer fans).
During dinner I was given permission (after each course) to check the status of the game. Thus we learned that Ghana tied it 1-1 late in the game and then a few minutes later the US scored to put the US in front again 2-1.
Shortly after that last score when I checked, the US was still ahead 2-1 but the time shown was “full-time”. What was full-time, I wondered? And then I realized, of course, if the middle was half-time then the ending was full-time. “We won”, I announced, “It is now full-time.”
