So USA will play the #1 ranked team in Group D, either Ghana, Germany or Serbia. Wow. Tough stuff, but you gotta beat the best to be the best....!!!

I don't think so, they finished top of their group, they'll play the second finisher in group D, that said AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Holy ****, how did that happen? What makes us finish higher than England? Woohoo, but why??

 

[Safetydan]

we both have 5 points, goal differential even at +1, we go on because we scored 4 goals while they scored 2 during group play

Man, I love this team. They've got heart. Two times they've been robbed of goals...and still found a way. This is a team the U.S. can be proud of. Shows how soccer can go from being the most frustrating sport...to possibly the most exhilarating in a matter of moments.

Now just wait for Archie to come along and try to spin this into a bad thing somehow....

I'm shocked Archie hasn't told us how this is a bad place to play a WC due to all the lion attacks in Souht Africa. Archie, I wanna report on that, pronto!

I need to go visit my cardiologist. I damn near had a heart attack when Dempsey missed that open strike on goal.

Just got this tweet from Mashable. I thought it was interesting that the WC is the only sporting event to drive web traffic like this. . .

Actually, I believe the US won their group based on total goals scored. So they'll play the 2nd-place team in Group D.
Successive games with disallowed goals on very questionable calls. Is the U.S. team like the Jazz? Will the officials allow the U.S. to win?

Only one goal scored? Meh, boring.

Nice explanation

I peed my pants and have no voice left.

Go Germany! Quit playing around with Ghana! If you win we don't get you in the 2nd round! So GO GERMANY!
