U.S. Scores Upset in Soccer

The United States men's soccer team scored a major upset in the FIFA Confederation Cup by beating Spain 2-0. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=270153&cc=5901
I watched the last 20 minutes of the game, which gives me about 25 minutes of watching soccer for the year and it was very exciting and the U.S.'s second goal was quite cool.
Spain was the top ranked team in the world and U.S. was 14th. This win is like the Detroit Lions winning the Super bowl next year. While the Federation is not the World Cup, it is probably the next best thing and if the U.S. wins the tournament, it will be the biggest tournament the U.S. men's team ever won. They play the winner of the South Africa-Brazil later in the week.
