I don’t really care much about soccer. However, I do like it immensely when one of our teams kicks butt on those America hating countries in one of their own sports.

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks for the 'Miracle on Ice' analogy. I wasn't sure how much hyperbole was wrapped up into "the world is eating crow right now!!" comment - as I don't keep up on soccer.
Good for team USA.

For you narrow minded Soccer critiquers.......Get on the Soccer field (if U dare)with a foreign born player....and you will find its not a “Game” for them...Its country, its life or death, its War !
For the world game is NOT a game, its a passion.
Besides, its a party in the stadiums during the event.....lots of Fun for fans.
MLS games have cheap tickets, doesn’t cost an Arm and a Leg to go to a spoeting Event.

Would it be okay if we used a SMALL stick... this time?

I intentionally left it open to interpretation. Had this been football season (the real kind) it would have been large...

Now if we go on and beat Brazil (they beat us 3-0 in the group stage), now THAT would really be something.

True, Spain does have a history of severe chokage in major tournaments.

Still I am pretty happy! Brasil will likely wipe us off the pitch, but ya never know.

The score now doesn’t matter. They’ll find enough stoppage time to allow Spain to tie.

The only thing I remember about soccer is that French guy who headbutted someone and got ejected in the Finals.

Anyway, it is a great sport with great fans—maybe one day I’ll get into it

This thread doesn't belong on FreeRepublic.

It apparently contains absolutely no information about Megan Fox.

Spain should use this as their wake-up call for next year. But I still think Brazil will be the team to beat. They’ve won every WC not held on European soil, since way back. But the US also does well when the WC isn’t held in Europe, so who knows, could this be a preview? Hmmm.

It was a great match and a great win for the US. After halftime, Spain really increased the pressure and I expected them to score but they never did. I still can’t believe we got a red card with just a few minutes to go. It did not look that bad.

The US in the final for the first time! Now let’s beat Brazil and set the stage for winning it all next year in the World Cup!

It will be interesting to see how far the US moves up in the FIFA rankings. We are currently 14.
