Greece's Area 51
I don't believe in aliens and I haven't seen Bigfoot but I'd imagine that if you were an American soccer fan in Greece (must be like three of them there, right?), today's events were similar to those otherworldly experiences.
Playing for the Greek club Aris, Eddie Johnson scored twice and Freddy Adu assisted on the first one. Johnson is on loan from Fulham and Adu is on loan from Portugal's Benfica.
All you need to know about both of them is that they're in what should be the prime of their careers but they're playing in such a European backwater.
Johnson's goals were the only ones of the game as Aris beat Olympiakos in the Greek League playoffs for next season's European competition.
Johnson headed home a cross from Adu in the 39th minute and scored the second right before the final whistle.
Will either get a look from Bob Bradley in May, will they both see the Loch Ness monster? Stay tuned for further developments.
