Team USA Has Pulled Off A Miracle!


Team USA came in looking to shock the Socer World.

They pulled it off in dramatic fashion.

Jozy Altidore scored the first goal in the 27th minute.

In the 74th minute, Landon Donovan launched a beautiful pass to Clint Dempsey, who put in the back of the net for the second goal of the game.

Michael Bradley was sent off in the 87th minute with a red card. He will be suspended for the Final of the Confederations Cup.

This win propels the USA to their first final since play began in 1916, according to the AP.

The USA will now play the Winner of the Brazil-South Africa match on Sunday.

To put this win in perspective, had set an international record with 15 straight victories and had tied Brazil's record unbeaten streak of 35 games from December 1993 to January 1996, according to the AP.

The USA was 1-7-1 against the number one team in the world, beating Brazil in the 1998 CONCAF Gold Cup.


The Brazil-South Africa match will take place later today.

All of the stats from that game favor Spain! The USA took only two shots on goal in that match, and they both went in, compared to six shots on goal for Spain. What a job of goalkeeping by Tim Howard!

Wow!The USA pulled off perhaps the biggest upset since The Miracle On Ice!
