Default USA over Spain 2-0!

I'm assuming there's no buzz about this because it's soccer, but seriously guys, on an international scale this is huge. Spain is a powerhouse and was the top seed and we JUST squeaked by into the semis in the first place.

Huge game for the states, will definitely give us more respect internationally now!

i watched the game and it sucks to see a lesser team win. If you didnt watch it then dont comment. It was 80% possession Spain to 20% US...but goals are what counts, the 2 chances they had they converted, good for them but Spain is still the better team.

The best team in the world doesnt always win, the best team in the stadium does, today it was US who was the best team.

Broke Spains 35 game streak...impressive nonetheless.

Will be a good final! The US can play.

^hey Chava, its like when El Salvador beat Mexico...Mexico is still the better team but that day they lost to one of the worst teams.
Also, remember when Mexico beat Brazil and Brazil had their A squad that game? Brazil is still the better team hands down.

That is what happened today...thats all.

True.

How far do you think Chile will go? Is there any team that can stop them?

Spain deserved to lose. They came out pretty lethargic in my opinion. The possession was pretty even in the first half. I'm guessin 60% Spain 40% US. US decided to play defense most of the second half and not take any risk after scorin' first, thats y the possession was so much in favor of Spain.

Give some probs to Tim Howard, he was HUUGEE!! + US Defense. They were flyin all over places. We pretty much out-hustled Spain.
