FIFA Confederations Cup 2009 Semifinals

[@pabspm]

I'm so proud of the US squad! Go Sam's Army!!

[@davlor86]

U.S.A. and Switzerland = Spain worst nightmares ;)

[@Taboas2013]

Yo soy español y realmente creo que Estados Unidos debio haber ganado la copa confederaciones, se que fue un descuido de parte de España pero EEUU mostro que verdaderamente son un buen equipo, mis respetos a los americanos P.D España campeones del mundo!!!!!!

[@vatosencillo6]

Los equipos de Concacaf siempre le complicaron bastante a la España del Tiki Taka xD, también México le ganó durante todo el partido a la selección española cuando está acababa de coronarse, en el amistoso que tuvieron el 15 de septiembre de 2010. Y Honduras, a pesar de caer 2-0, durante un rato le complicó en cierta medida a España.

[@francoasencio8632]

mejico? Ganándole a España 😂😂😂

[@vatosencillo6]

@@francoasencio8632 Primero aprende a escribir México, con mayúscula y acento, ignorante. ¿De dónde eres? Porque si así escribe su población, no me quiero ni imaginar su pobre nivel educativo e intelectual.

[@ThaBoss112]

This was a great way for the U.S, to showcase its young talent and show the world that 2010 wont be another 2006!!

[@mindlabsunltd]

I am from Mexico and my team is Mexico but honestly I think USA have been doing a good work in its team for few years, in the next worlcup they will do a great tournament. I want to see Mexico vs USA... will be a great match. I don't think is lucky... the USA soccer players work very hard, will not be any surprise for me if USA win against Mexico.

[@12AlanPaulCopeland12]

Damn USA Is A Beast Nice! Glad To Be American:D

[@orlandojwinchester5921]

Spain beat him 4-0

[@SCBietigheim]

congradulation to the USA...the US played fantastic...hope you win the finals...best wishes from Germany

[@surfsoccer13]

yeah i think the U.S will have a bright soccer future and it it gonna come sooner than most ppl think

[@gofishglobal7919]

That was one of the best USA teams ever. Altidore pulled his signature box out move, with Capdevila choosing to go around the wrong side to defend him. And, then, Ramos was just in Lala land on that second goal.

[@CARLISTO777]

It's true. Determination and beningnacy of sheer hardwork saw the US through...No one ever gives them a chance to reaching that extent...

[@TolangJenny]

If Americans begin to be interested in football, the USA team would be rated on the top in the FIFA ranking.

[@squirestew4u]

It was a good run from us YANKEES!!

[@StarPenguinCp]

That was a friendly, this was a competitive match. Friendlies are for trying out new players. The 4-0 match proves that we need more depth.

[@crema423]

Dude i respect u so much for wat u just said....im not even Mexican im Peruvian, it sucks how there are "Americans" like youevenytheusa, but i also know there are good americans like u man. Even though Peru is not in the world cup i'll be cheering for the USA b/c i live in this country since the age of 8...its like my second home :)

[@dirtybunny987]

After this Spain went up on to become World Champions and USA got eliminated by the 3rd world country Ghana in the same tournament. funny how that happened

[@davinalopez-oz1ez]

this win got to their heads

[@EKTELESTES]

This was one BIG surprise! And I liked it:) Finally someone stopped the arrogant Spanish ( the croatians could have done so in euro 2008 but they were so damn unlucky ).

[@nestoraxel]

I am mexican but i was rooting to USA because they are from North America, Neighbors and part of Concacaf.. Yes Mexico won the confederations cup but the USA show the world the in this area of the world we are growing and we will close to Europe in the very next future.....Yeah so we are enemies in the Gold Cup but in the rest of the world we should unite and be friends...

[@213USA]

the world has passion for football, futbol, soccer. Just because the US team is getting better just gives you another reason to hate our country. . I got mad respect for european football and other programs around the world. My pride is with the USA

[@balzich14]

wow now that is good sportsmanship.

[@mindlabsunltd]

I live from Mexico and my team is Mexico but I think USA had been doing a great work with its players NOT LUCKY AT ALL IN THIS GAME, just hard work from USA. I can't wait to see the match between Mexico and USA. Remember is just a game, we don't have to say bad things between countries. Also this program is from Mexico and the commentors said good things about USA team. I hope Mexico wins against USA

[@Rocky390]

howard is super raw. he a really good goalie

[@tdipepsi]

wow like 2 years ago.... well still its amazing they lost to them.

[@juarezrt]

They ARE good. I never said they're the best, but, they do have a winning record against Brazil in the past 10 yrs. Aug 04, 99Mexico 4 - Brazil 3 Mar 07, 01Mexico 3 - Brazil 3 Jul 12, 01 Mexico 1 - Brazil 0 Apr 30, 03Mexico 0 - Brazil 0 Jul 13, 03Mexico 1 - Brazil 0 Jul 27, 03Mexico 1 - Brazil 0 Jul 18, 04Brazil 4 - Mexico 0 Jun 19, 05Mexico 1 - Brazil 0 Jun 27, 07Mexico 2 - Brazil 0 Sep 12, 07Brazil 3 - Mexico 1

[@crema423]

@frankiegalnarez17 i know right...its 2010 man they need to get over it. But anyways thats y i love soccer...so many diff ppl play it; hispanics, americans, europeans,arabs, asians, africans its amazing how one sport can do that! I really cant wait for the world cup to start

[@10basshero10]

Woot! highest rated comment!

[@TSAVVVV]

Agreed... spain was playing beautiful soccer... very unlucky... they forgot to play defense....... lol

[@CARLISTO777]

@leverkusen33--- The game of football is to play and win... No one would say Spain didn't want to win the american team, but they failed in their quest to do so, just because the US team applied strict measures to upend the spaniards' strategies.I am an African, so I talk from inter-relative point of view of the match.

[@AnnaOconner123]

what a crazy turn of events for the usa team

[@fldn102]

@Cancun186 how did luck have anything to do with this video?the 2 shots were pure skill

[@12justincollard]

after playin many many flawless games the spanish had a down game and the states capitalized ... but they still need to insert adu if they want to make a move n the world cup n my opinion

[@pdzlatan]

Spain 0-2 USA in confederation cup 2009 USA 0-4 Spain in friendly with mundial 2010 and euro 2012 winners

[@wildboyspaniard]

Relax, things are going at times. We thought before the final against Brazil and not in the semifinal match against USA, and we hope perhaps that's why we lost. Spain has a great team, something we are now champions of Europe ... :)

[@TheGreatinfernape]

What a great game

[@leverkusen33]

to be completly honest, if it werent for howard we would have lost this game. us was smart for trying to make spain only shot from outside the 18

[@juarezrt]

They beat Brazil. Often. You gotta admit that's pretty good.

[@روضةالعلماءالروضه]

منتخب قوي وبرادلي عاااااالمي

[@mindlabsunltd]

estas en lo correcto!!! Y eso que soy de Mexico

[@pugsley141]

Complete luck. I'm not saying America are a bad team but they are not on par with world class teams like Spain, Brazil, Holland, Italy, Germany, England, Russia etc The amount of times I've heard Americans saying they are one of the best in the world because they beat Spain is ridiculous. It's sports, upsets happen in sports all the time. It doesn't make you the best...

[@genis95]

well, Klose (Polish guy) is now on the German team and I believe a few others as well.

[@fernandodelfinfernandez2474]

Después de ese partido estuvo un especial de WWE RAW.

[@minor15]

ive been reading this and man you are right! US lost to mexico cuz usa put there 2nd string against them in the gold cup! It would be awesome to see them go at it at the world cup if they ever match up so usa can send them back home disappointed lol

[@93Bigbrown]

@DatxFlipxBoixRon i agree with the concacaf, but Futbol originated from the Aztecs they made the concept of playing a game with kicking little balls. i am sure of this.

[@Ginic]

im so sorry for the lose vs ghana :(

[@zizouinfame]

que bueno quegano la concacaf

[@Redhawk767]

Brazil Champion!!! watch it next sunday!

[@logic78]

i'm from the U.S.

[@Brakzar]

@wolfcampos41 Don't be jealous just because they one of the most best teams in the world.

[@ThatBoyTLong]

sometimes the better team doesn't win. It's football. Plus this was 3 years ago and Spain won the world cup the year after this. Move on. American who also supports USA, Spain and Germany

[@sadseemom]

USA soccer improve a lot!

[@tdipepsi]

well think dude they were at azteca and they got alot of cheer... they r both rivals... if mexico lost they wouldnt qualified.... mexico plays the best with usa... in the gold cup it was just new mls players... well its just that usa wasent in danger like mexico was... that game ment alot for mexico

[@RobertoLee09]

Serigo Ramos do the best thing in the second goal.

[@Darealwhip]

Yes.... they get me free cheese, and I make nachos everyday until I weight 800 pounds...LOL....

[@juarezrt]

LOOK AGAIN, that's 6-2-2 vs Brazil since 199. I don't think any other team can boast that against Brazil. And, I found this out; June 11, 1986 Mexico 1 - Iraq 0 That's the only time they have ever played. And just in case you were confusing countries; January 09, 2000 Mexico 2 - Iran 1 June 11, 2006 Mexico 3 - Iran 1 June 02, 2007 Mexico 4 - Iran 0 That's the only times they have faced Iran.

[@CARLISTO777]

You're damn right.

[@TeRrERizEr]

Why so much hate to the U.S?

[@TheMrbrayn]

@hworkdedication they weren't lucky, they were defensive errors.

[@FRECIA123]

Why do you hate the MLS! It's all we have!! And we have faired very well againist international competion during the last 13 years!

[@DarHelll]

lol and what about the first and second games? they loss 0-3 vs Brazil ._.v

[@ThatBoyTLong]

Rules European football fans must go by: 1- Do not respect the USA even if they are starting to pick up the beautiful game 2- If the USA loses, laugh your ass off. if the USA wins, say "THEY GOT LUCKY" 3- If there is an American fan who respects your team, brag about it and bad mouth them, their team, and their country...because they're Americans and you are not supposed to be friends with them. 4- Come World Cup Qualifying, hope that the USA does not Qualify because you hate them so much.

[@davinalopez-oz1ez]

USA won this game and them and their fans think they are a top team. USA needs to be consistent . That why your nation foils at the world cup

[@Thomasdaladiesman]

WOW :O big shock 2 ma an i mean BIG shock coz yh usa r good but spain better an i still think dat but usa r improvin so but yh well done..ya gotta give ut 2 da usa lyke aven ya coz they did play well lyke

[@samcalvo32]

To be honest, those are not quality goals, they're both pretty lucky. Overall, european teams (especially Spain) play with a completely different strategy that soccer should be played with, rather than the way the U.S. plays. As you can see, if U.S. is beating Spain and loosing to Mexico, something can't be right.

[@acuragsr4]

whos better Mexico or Usa???

[@czam73]

Spain is not a club it's a National Team.

[@GURU235]

ok Im confused are you a usa fan or not

[@carlosmezaCL97]

Aah, pero un año después, contra Chile, ahí sí se puso las pilas

[@yenrey95]

...USA never said they were the best in the world they stated that they have proven they can play at Spains level...

[@adamnelson55]

TRUE!

[@gaaraporra]

hey stop fighting we will see how is better in world cup.

[@brianitis]

@SuperZlatan1000 I have a better idea...come To Gillette Stadium, Foxboro MA, right after a Patriots game. We'll show you how we do...The Red White and Blue

[@sidekickkid89]

Hey at leasst we beat you guys in a confed final and won it in 1999 =D

[@pollomecanico]

Why do you get so agitated?

[@caiurolandu]

BRASIL!!!!!!!!!!!

[@oscarmorales4696]

Orale por canal 5

[@Darealwhip]

@OrcWyvern If Spain was not able to deal with our OFFENSIVE LINE UP....WHY OUR COACH SWITCH TO DEFENSE TURNING THE FIELD AND THE BALL TO SPAIN HENCE RISKING A MISTAKE IN OUR OFFENSIVE.....If USA keep the counterattack play used in the first half USA COULD BE TALKING ABOUT 4 OR 5 TO CERO.....

[@cesarjanet]

wow never saw usa beating spain but oh well

[@BigBruiser76]

Didn't they score a goal at the end? So 3-0??

[@12justincollard]

thank goodness for howard and the 9 other defenders haha... look the spanish team could play usa 10 times and usa maybe wins 1, i was shocked to see how unlucky the spanish were the entire game... the two goals that the americans scored were unlucky for them and they took loads of decent shots and they were just all deflected or blocked because the whole usa team was n the box... however the americans did play the only way they could to win and u have to tip ur hats to them on this day

[@ThatBoyTLong]

I don't know how to. can you demonstrate?

[@49ERSiBleed]

they don't "deserve" it? do you follow sports at all? its about not about the best team in the world, its about the best team in the stadium. usa deserved the win because they played hard, defended the back of the net, and took their goals. spain had a lot of chances but did not execute. get your facts straight.

[@madrolla]

@logic78 where u from?

[@julionumber9]

Can I get congratulated. We actually beat you. Brazil is the second international team I go for after Mexico of course.

[@BFarfan24]

well they were at the aztic stadium which makes it harder to breath beacause the air at the aztic stadium is thinner I WANT TO C THEM PLAY US OVER HERE WILL WIN MEXICO

[@Al2006essandro]

@lusitanpride1139 i think spain just recently showed you guys if they suck or not.

[@leverkusen33]

im sorry, it had alot to do with luck. 9 shots compared to 29? are you kidding? those two goals we scored were garbage, our best tactic is defense, and to hope howard has a good game.

[@Darealwhip]

No we are not a decade behind....WE ARE 100 YEARS BEHIND this why we will enjoy THE AZZ WHOOP WE ARE GOING TO PUT ON THE LIMEY AZZES...

[@luistuaa]

malditos televisos, estos si los dejan verdad, como no tiene nada que ver con su negocito llamado selección mexicana. Pero nada más busquen (por poner un ejemplo) los juegos de la copa america del 2007 y no hay ningúno de televisa, puro de los todavía peores de univisión. pffff

[@mustlane]

spain is season team !

[@Woundey]

@nestoraxel nicely said my man, nicely said

[@adamnelson55]

The US played just like Brazil does. Same style.

[@Am3rIca16]

The US had a lot of potential in the world cup 2010 -.- sucks they got eliminated by Ghana!! Although right now the US does suck >.> hope they are in shape for brazil 2014

[@juarezrt]

yeah, Brazil doesn't like to be competitive.

[@nedmo112]

hey america played nice matches am egyptian btw but its not real soccer they play. in the match against egypt they were fighting infront of the goal with there legs for the ball lol

[@lspklead]

funny to see usa beat spain in a sport not taken really seriously here...cant imagine the destruction a us soccer team would create if people actually gave a damn about it and had our most athletic individuals playing it, i dont think people would be talking sht anymore

[@Am3rIca16]

Yeah but Germany didn't buy Klose he became a German citizen making him eligible to play for Germany. Also Podolski is Polish but again he's also German.

[@afallcadence]

@s0ccer96 Hell yeah!! We're number one!! who cares if we lost to Brazil, cus we beat Spain, that means we're the best!!!! I wonder if we can do it again.... : /

[@peepsdtw]

we kick as in soccer now .

[@sidekickkid89]

It means you have the best confederation on the world. Its places the North American, South American, Asian, Europe, Oceana, and African champions along ith teh World Cup winners and the host. So, its not a "B" team tournnament, but more of a tounament to see whos the best from each confederatoin champions. Mexico proved n 1999 they was the best, even if it was held in Mexico. France did it twice, and Brasil a couple of times 2. So, just because the US didnt win, doesnt mean its "B" team tounry

[@Cha0sStriker]

Who won the world cup again? Exactly.
