Dang it, I thought the USA would have a much better chance against S.Africa :glare: .

I did too! They'll have to play the match of their lives, but no matter, we made it to a FIFA Final for the first time in our history!!!!!

Wow, South Africa gave Brazil a run for their money!

It IS amazing that the U.S. is in the FIFA Final! :thumbsup:

Now, I don't know which team the Refs dislike more....so at least it won't be a "Win by Ref."

I hope the American team is ultra-aggressive to start the match, they need to let Brazil know they are not going to just sit back and play defensively.

I just hope the match is competitive and fun to watch.

Oh, how disappointing, but a terrific game nonetheless. Well played, well reffed.

Brazil 3 vs USA 2

Especially after the U.S. was leading by the two points in the first half. The big mistake was the U.S. allowing Brazil to score so soon into the second half - kind of took the wind out of their sails.

Dempsey wins Outstanding Player award

Howard wins Outstanding Goalie award

Donovan is still in amazing shape and can run like the wind.

This was an important game for the U.S. - they showed the world they are worthy!! :thumbsup:
