Los Angeles Galaxy

Landon Donovan and the rest of the United States national team made history today. After a poor start with 3-1 and 3-0 losses to Italy and Brazil the United States has done the unthinkable. They somehow managed to beat a tough Egypt team 3-0 while Brazil did exactly the same to Italy to slip the US into the semi-finals as the 2nd place team in the group by way of total goals scored tiebreaker.

The only problem with that situation is they had to play Spain. Spain was currently the #1 team in the world. They haven’t lost a game since November of 2006. They have won 15 in a row and been unbeaten in 35. No team from outside of Europe has beaten Spain since 1999.

The United States stepped up and did what no one else could do. They beat Spain!

The Galaxy’s own Landon Donovan set up the 2nd goal as the US went on to a 2-0 victory to send them to the championship game of the Confederations Cup for the first time ever. Jozy Altidore scored the first goal for the US and Clint Dempsey scored the 2nd goal that was set up by Donovan. This is one of the biggest victories ever for US Soccer!
