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!

Hey, that victory has been even compared by the NYT to the “Miracle on Ice” in 1980.

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’
