06.24.09 USA BEATS SPAIN, 2-0. WE LIKE SOCCER NOW!
4TH UPDATE: Here are the highlights in case you missed the match, or just want to relive your jaunt onto the MNT bandwagon.
3RD UPDATE: It’s over! USA Wins, 2-0!
2ND UPDATE: USA’s Michael Bradley gets a red card with four minutes left. America’s a man down. That’s not good.
ZOMG! Clint Dempsey just scored on a loose ball! It’s 2-0 America! We’re good now!
Nineteen-year-old Jozy Altidore scored in the 27th minute of Team USA’s Confederations Cup semifinal with Spain, giving the MNT a 1-0 lead that they’ve managed to carry into halftime. Spain has since responded with well-timed attacks that have barely come up unfinished, and one has to think that the Americans can only dodge so many bullets before the world’s No. 1-ranked team finds the back of the net.
The second half just started. We’ll recap the game when it ends. You can follow the game here if you’re stuck at work. ESPN forgot to load this page with annoying videos, so you should be good.

It’s just 1 game, but still, Team USA just T-Bagged all of the idiot sports writers who have been tearing them up.
This reminds me of watching the HBO special about Russia beating the USA but better.
(Looking around the comments section)
No one still gives a fuck, right? OK.
What’s this about again?
Team USA just T-Bagged all of the idiot sports writers who have been tearing them up.
In idiot sports writers’ defense, the gringos played like dog shit against Brazil and Italy, and only showed signs of life against that soccer powerhouse Egypt.
/needs cigarette after that game
you’ve changed your fucking tune. i thought football(soccer) was for fags? yer’ glory hunting bastard.
Hey, let’s all go to South Africa for the next game! Huh? Huh, guys? C’mon, it’ll be fun!
Wake me up when they strap on pads and play REAL football please.

USA USA USA
Superb all-around play, even the flopping. HD makes the flopping that much more painful to watch.
real men don’t wear pads..

I think the spanish did pretty good seeing as how they had to mow the field and play the game on the same day.

It’s only gay if you’re on the bottom.
@Grapadura – Sorry, failing to see how a guy flapping his arms around makes him manly. The guy had a minor collision and he shattered his leg. If Patrick Willis lit that guy up, he’d be dead right now.
You wanna know why real men wear pads:

Patrick Willis is a monster. I can’t wait for foosball.
This game was amazing. I don’t have a joke about it. It was fucking beautiful.
When you say “We” you must mean the guys on the team. I can’t see many more than that caring.
The game was pretty awesome – here is an interesting article on how American soccer could be improved: http://www.mindreign.com/en/mindshare/Sports/The-Problem-with-Soccer/sl40763392bp300cpp10pn1.html
