Why is everyone so surprised? The US always do well against good teams, look at their track record. If I remember correctly, if it wasn't for some questionable referee decisions against the States, Italy would have never made it out of the group stages and never won the 06' World cup.

Michael Bradley is a beast in midfield. If he played like this every game no doubt he'd be at a bigger club. USA USA USA!

I 15 years ago

no economy? 4th largest in europe ( Germany, France, UK, Italy)the economy may be in shambles but we will never fall like greece our economy is too large (I'm not talking it or us up, I'm telling the truth, same goes for germany, france and the UK). you obviously are failing your economic courses.

The reason the U.S. won isnt because they play better agaisnt top teams its because ITALY isnt that good. PLus the U.S. has better players on their squad and teamplay (finally) then they ever had. DEMPSEY, TOM HOWARD, and others but dam Landon is overated as hell

@robbery You're retarded. I wasn't saying the World Cup was in Bulgaria in '94, I was talking about Germany losing to Bulgaria in WC '94 when they were up 1 - 0.

eduardo 15 years ago

USA is good most of the time they do good against teams that are good like when they beat Spain IM pretty sure Spain was at their best at the confederations i think that did way better in the confederations than what they did in the world cup

I'm just amazed my boys managed to beat Italy, let alone do it on Italian soil. Props to Klinsmann for instilling an attacking philosophy into the team. I never thought I'd see an attacking US team in my lifetime.

omg 15 years ago

Did you watch the game at all? The US were just walling and scored their goal on a counter, like everything they did was just countering since the ballpossession was all italian. However, this was half a B-team on Italy's side because Prandelli wanted to experiment, so this game isnt very indicative.

devin 15 years ago

this wan't the united states typical team either. we were missing key players, and there was a couple players who earned their first call ups

devin 15 years ago

"italy played better" is what people keep saying. sure, they had more chances and possession, but howard (if i remember correctly) only took one dive for a save, the rest of the shots were straight at him. 12 offsides calls doesnt help either. maybe the italians played better in some ways, but you cant kick the ball straight at a keeper and expect to score, especially not timmy howard
