Sorry for this bit of non-Valencia related celebration… but WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
The USA beat Spain 2-0 in the confederations cup semi-final last night, and we’re headed toward our first FIFA Final ever! I still can’t believe it.
Fine, it’s just the Confederations Cup, but what an incredible result. It was the first time in 35 games that mighty Spain was defeated. And I guess you can consider it marginally related to Valencia — David Villa and Juan Mata both were playing and got to taste the power of los EEUU first hand. Haha! That’s for giving us such a stupid abbreviation!
You were better than us. Congratulations!
Wow…could we ever imagine this?
I guess this is what happens when you slack, Spain!
Hey, that victory has been even compared by the NYT to the “Miracle on Ice” in 1980.

Congratulations! USA team was better.
But wait until next year World FIFA World Cup !!

“U.S. Victory Was a Miracle on Grass”
America has a ton of problems and faults….but, a belief that “it’s possible” is not one of them. I imagine Brazil is thinking,,,,”Hummm, we’d better not get too cocky…these junior league girls are for real !” Ole’
