Not even the most optimistic of USA fans would have tipped Bob Bradley's team for a place in the knockout phase after they lost both their opening games in disappointing fashion.

The Spanish can be excused for welcoming USA's unexpected presence at this late stage. After all, before the tournament started the European champions were bracing themselves for a stern semi-final test from reigning world champions Italy.

Nobody - I mean NOBODY gave USA a chance. Not only did USA beat Spain, it was a clean sheet.

USA! USA! USA!

Even though this was the semi-finals, the magnitude of this win feels like a gold medal.

Do they even play soccer in the US? Ask Spain.
 
Wow...this is a stunner in the biggest respect. We beat a team that hadn't lost in like 35 straight international games. Maybe this is a watershed moment for the US Soccer program, maybe it was just a fluke, bottom line is that we won this game and have the opportunity to win this thing...which is incredible when when you think where they were at the beginning of this tournament.

GO USA!
 
it's good to see the USA getting to grips with the world's favourite sport.

Although, lets not forget that the USA has a long legacy in football - for example they were at the first World Cup finals I believe back in the 1930's.

From what I can remember (from the last time I looked it up) I seem to recall them doing quite well.
 
No doubt this victory makes you "World Champions"

Spain was stacked with superstar talent from most of the main Euro FC's

This would be equivalent of the Olympics when a college team beat the Soviet super team
 
The Soccer-Yanks have beaten quite a few decent teams over the years; they beat England a few years ago, and I believe they've gotten results against Brazil and Argentina in that silly CONCHSHELL qualifying group they play in.

The top and bottom of it is that the USA is a nation of 360 million people and thus American footy fans have the right to expect a lot of their team, which quite frankly their team rarely deliver.
 
This for sure means the end of the world is about to come! 😱
 
Are you referring to '' The Miracle on ice ? ''


I believe so. A great momment, because everybody was tired of the "Red Army" team wining medals. They were suposed to be Amatures but they really weren't because all they did was play hockey, and they were payed by the Soviet Government to do so. I have the documentory about the 72 summit series when Team Canada (featuring NHL Players) played Team USSR, and it showed how they did nothing but practice all year round. For those college kids to beat them in the 80's was really something, considering the Pro's had a tough time with them in 72.

I see the USA lost in the final to Brazil....surely this makes the US "world champions" as well?

In the first half, Id never seen Brazil outplayed like that in a longtime US were fantastic, 2nd half though Brazil showed there quality and were deserved winners in the end.

Talking of "World Champions" which apparently england will be next year since theyve beaten the mighty Andorra and Kazahkstan, I "LOL'd" when i heard one of the commentators say that neither Brazil or US would cause England much trouble if they were playing them, hilarity 😛
 
Meanwhile the US are doing battle with those mighty footballing powers Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago and El Salvador "hilarity" indeed.
 
I remember a certain Trinidad & Tabago side giving england a run for there money in the last world cup, While true the US lack any sort of competition in the CONCACAF zone aside from Mexico theyve proved themselves competitively against the two best teams in the world. Cant really say the same for england
