We come into the last day with the unlikely needed to happen for us to advance...and it all did.  With the goals allowed we have, we needed a combination of Brazil 3-0 over italy and same for us.  But it all happened.

Man of the match...Oneywu?  Donovan?  Bradley?  Oneywu went up everytime and didnt lose a single ball, the spine of our defense.

Donovan played the best I had seen him in a long time, using his speed and running at the defense. 

Bradley had a good amount of shots, and 2nd goal was assist from donovan.

Other goals davies, bradley and dempsey.  Dempsey didnt play well at all for that exception.  Things looked good, we played with a purpose, good ball possession.  Im proud!  We play Espana on Weds. 

OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE

HAHAHAH italy are shocking AND OUT!!!!!!!!!!! Full credit to USA they looked very poor in the 1st 2 games but i missed todays !!!!!!!!!! so cant really comment

Yes abby a joke is not!  People call the us arrogant for being hopeful but its self belief!

Im not sure what will happen against spain, if you guys remember our last match they squeaked by with a goal in the 85th with a header going off the crossbar following for us...lets plug in adu and torres and run at spain!

Well done Usa. I didntwatch the match as i watched Brazil v Italy but the commentators said you were dominating. From 0pts and 4th to 3points and 2nd is absolute Klass!!! Tbh i didnt expect it but now u gotta focus on Spain. They are 1 of the Toughest teams you couldve got but if you play like u did vs Egypt then you may have a larger chance of another upset, i reckon you could do it .

I did not watch the match but I honestly think it is rude to think USA was lucky, 3-0 couldn't have been luck. I didn't expect them to win by half a goal but they managed to win by 3-0 which is incredible.

NOTE:  This game should of been 4-0.  Altidore with a shot on goal and a handball stopped it from going in. (no penalty was awarded, replay was showed and announcers agreed handball)

Expect to see a red card against spain!:p (Fifa Fraud Red cards!)

umm...you didn't watch the match so why are you saying I'm insulting the US? By luck I mean the US was playing a team that was crippled. Who is to say what the outcome would have been if Zidan was healthy. The fact remains Egypt is a completely different team without Zidan and the US without a doubt had an easier time playing them with him missing. Egypt has little depth after Zidan. He scored 2 goals against Brazil and could have scored more. I have no interest in whether the US wins or loses. Nor do I care whether Egypt wins or loses. I just watch the game. But injuries are part of any sport or competition. That adds to the spectacle. What would Spain have been like in the semi-final with Iniesta and Senna in the lineup? I'm not saying the result would have been different but Spain would definitely be improved a lot by those players and who knows.

I'm not one of those idiots who think the US has no national team. Some people still don't give them any respect but I saw how well the US played Italy in the last WC. I was really impressed by their organization on the field so I could see they were for real in 2006 and they tied Italy. Just because I think the US had it easy against a weak Egypt does not make me rude. Nor did I say something untrue. You are trying to imply something I didn't say, that the US isn't a good team and were therefore lucky to get by Egypt. Yet you completely ignored my comment that it was a good performance overall for the US team.

I find that Italy should have qualified not the USA;
They both had the same amount of points and goal difference, and Italy beat USA 3-1 in their match-up. So why did the U.S.A. qualify? Did they change the rules or something? Maybe it had something to do with a new rule being that goals for come before goal differencial and so on, but still, wouldn't Italy qualify?

I'm confused.
