20090624_soccer.pngU-S-A! U-S-A!

Did you see this? The USA Mens' Soccer Team just beat Spain 2-0!

We're going to the Conderations Cup, baby!

I know you probably don't care about soccer much, but check out these facts:

  • The US team was ranked 14th.

  • Spain won the Euro 2008 (which you might remember from Newlywed in Dubai's Spain Won).

  • In fact, they'd set an international record with 15 straight victories.

  • The first goal scored today was the first goal against Spain in 451 minutes of play - and just the third goal in 17 games.

  • This is the first time the US has advanced to the FIFA final since FIFA started in 1916.

  • On Sunday the US will play either defending champion Brazil or host South Africa.

The saddest part of this? The stadium in Johannesburg where the final will take place is named (shudder) "Coca-Cola Park".

U-S-A?
