Description:

Check out this incredible, newly discovered, original play-by-play call of The Miracle On Ice, perhaps the greatest upset in the history of team sports. When the USA shocked Russia, 4-3, at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics, Curt Chaplin was covering the game as a sports reporter for the ABC Radio Network. Standing on a camera platform in the crowd, he did the play-by-play call of the game into his tape recorder, capturing the event on tape forever. Now, after 25 years, these tapes have been rediscovered and matched to the video. The result is a dramatic, stirring and completely original experience for sports fans all over the world. Now you can relive the #1 sports upset of the 20th Century in a whole new way, through new eyes and a new voice. Still as fresh and exciting as the day it happened. If you know any hockey players or hockey fans, send them the link. They should all see it.

These guys did in one game, what Carter's presidency never could, Raise the spirit of the American People.

Be as it may, do you really know anything about soccer, especially at World Cup level, let alone in 1950? How sad to the rest of the world those didn´t create much commotion in US, you won England there though. I still can´t compare as you did. I bet the Australian football is a big thing in Australia...

No. Puck never cleared the line on the rebound. The big question on that goal was whether it was scored before time ran out. IIRC, the clock showed 00:02 when Johnson shot and 00:01 when it went in.
