A sporting weekend

Well, it was quite the sporting weekend.

Lance Armstrong won his seventh Tour de France, and the win also marked his retirement after 14 years of professional cycling.

The U.S. men's soccer team won the Gold Cup championship, beating Panama in an exciting penalty shootout 3-1 (I'm not even a huge soccer fan).

The funny thing? Both sports are immensely popular around the world, except in the United States where American football, baseball and basketball reign supreme.
