God Bless America

U.S. Soccer just pulled off one of if not their biggest upsets ever today in the semifinals of the Confederations Cup against all mighty Spain. The United States beat FIFA’s top ranked Spain 2-0 in Bloemfontein, South Africa and this is the first loss for the Spaniards since late 2006! U.S Soccer was only able to get off 4 shots the entire game, but Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey were both successful in finding the back of the net. This is a huge shot in the arm for the #14 ranked team by FIFA and leads them to their first men’s final ever in a FIFA competition. By all indications it appears the United States will face Brazil who thoroughly embarrassed U.S Soccer earlier in the Cup.
