Thanks for the post. I had no idea this was going on. I love soccer but I don't have cable so I can never watch it. I'm excited for the World Cup next year though! That'll be awesome.

more like 15% watched the espn report on the game.
<1% actually watched the game.
Americans in general, not sure about Americans on here ;o

hmm, nvm if it was on ESPN and not ESPN2.

Haha the US is like the super athletic kid in highschool who's good at every sport, and he plays against the kid who's obsessed with soccer who trains at soccer all year long, and wins easily with no practice at all.
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

Eh, it was probably an abberation. Maybe even Spain thinking it was an auto win.

Howard is the only really good player on the US. Donovan is so overrated.

I think the best players on the US team are Howard, Donovan, Onyewu, and Altidore. Everyone else is just average sadly. I just dont see how Donovan is overrated though? Care to clarify? O_o

usa have a squad full of modest players who play in average teams in europe and still manage to scrap the win. when strange things like this happens gotta give credit to the manager he deserves it

cause american media puts the savior tag on him , yet he failed in bayern leverkusen and bayern munich recently. I personally don't think he's overrated at all, perhaps overrated only in the u.s, i think the rest of the world would agree he's a quality player.

pretty much this. any time he's mentioned in us media, it's like he's the best and only guy on the team.

overrated doesn't necessarily mean bad =p

We're cynics by nature in the US... our sports media hypes the shit out of people they like, regardless of their actual output. A few years ago, you'd be convinced Freddie Adu was the next Pele, ahha.

Personally, I think it's kinda absurd to hype any US soccer players til they prove themselves overseas.

Unfortunately I think it's just luck in terms of USA won't be putting out consistent wins. Great job though and pretty amazing to get out of last round the way they did and even break the 30-some unbeaten streak of Spain. Next up is either Brazil or South Africa.

This is strange because there are very few Americans that care about soccer, even during the world cup.
