January 2007 will be remembered as another month where the United States of America reminded everyone around the globe that it was the cultural leader of the world yet again.
Tech titans Apple changed the global communication landscape forever with the announcement of their new product - the 'iPhone', while it was a clean sweep for a number of American superstars at the 64th annual Golden Globes.
What is often forgotten is that January 2007 marks the first time in a long time that the United States took their seat at the table of world football alongside Europe's big-hitters.
