I am so shocked! This is unreal! Biggest win in US soccer history. We've finally arrived!

I believe...

...in miracles!

What a great game! Come on Brazil, we are ready for a re-match.

YES!!!!

I really don't have anything else to say. Historic victory. Hopefully the South Africans can take it to the Brazilians.

Re Chadders

Biggest win in history? It's like a pre-season NFL game. It was a tune up for the real tournament next year. If you make a deep run on a consistent basis, then you have arrived, right now you would be the cinderella story. But to say you have arrived is a little premature. Consistency is what would impress me, one win doesn't make me a believer.

How Exciting!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?! its the miracle on grass. Our defense got worked for an hour and a half but never broke. incredible

wow

David just beat Goliath.. Way to represent your country.. so proud

This is one in a million victory!!! How come they can beat El Salvador or even Costa Rica?? This is like making a shot from half court it won't happen twice.

no longer embarassing

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? HOW DID WE MANAGE THAT.. UNBELIEVABLE! REPRESENT!!!

I dont think most americans realize the significance of this game and how it really represents our athletes more than anything else.. The world watches our soccer players not our basketball players and we just showed them whats up.. seriously amazing! Hopefully we get another chance to redeem the pounding we took from brazil!!!!!!!!

Simply

Amazing..

Nice win

Today, the US soccer team proved it's often better to be lucky than good. It's a nice win, but the fact is that the European teams don't even want to be at this tournament.

Bigger than...

...the biggest miracle in US soccer history. Go USA! Amazing. Can they win it all now?

USA!!!!!!!! USA!!!!!!!! USA!!!!!!!! USA!!!!!!!! I can't believe it.

the sport

We just won the lottery.. We beat better athletes from the best team in the world in front of thousands and thousands of dancing south africans.. This is why soccer is the sport. there is no other sport.. this is it

upset city

South africa.. there's something in the water. First italy gets beat by frikkin egypt!?! then the u.s. goes and pulls this one out of nowhere! I am getting my south african flag out now.. GO RSA

yep

It is pretty rare for such a big upset to happen so enjoy it and just know next time spain is going to make you look like little rec players with juiceboxes and orange slices.. Just wait usa spain will have its revenge

This was not like a pre-season NFL game at all. This is one of the world tournaments that FIFA has. Both teams played their 1st teams.
This was huge.

Haha

I love it.

Spain put out their best eleven, not just a "B" team, and the USNats got it done.

Other countries would love to be at this tourney.

The US has officially arrived on the international scene.

Timmy Howard....you are amazing.
