LOL Hob...it's not quite like the miracle on ice but it's pretty dang close.

All you naysayers  :finger:

Defense came up huge today. Second time evar the US has beaten the FIFA world #1.

US/South Africa finals... [sm_shock]

It was in jest - definitely not the same situation.  But the odds were the same - powerhouse vs. never has been.

I have been screaming for more playing time for Adu and Torres, but Clark played a hell of a game to prove me wrong.  I'll take the egg on my face to get the win  :)

play the game again 10 times and I bet the avg. score is close to those predicted.


that said, that's why you play the game. anything can happen.

Worst part is it saved the coach's job.
Ugh.

That's why I was  [sm_shock] in my first post and glad I didn't put up a prediction. I would have never picked the game to go this way.

Hey, if posting a USA sucks, will lose 4-1  every single time they have a pending game will make them win the WC,  I'm up for the humiliation

Losing to Spain would not have cost Bradley his job.

Losing to Spain 5-1 might have.

Fair play to them, they beat "the best side in the world*" away from home.  And look at the Spanish starters.  A who's who of football elite.
