I only got to watch the Second half of the Game­ .Actually during the first half I was asleep because of­ Lack of power in the area because of loadshedding .By­ the way I am Zambian and live in Kabwe .I received a­ text that Spain where 1 goal down and I quickly rushed­ to watch the Second half .Spain has probably over used­ there System and the Spanish Armada was too confident­ hence the Shipwreck ,Did any one notice that the­ Spanish left wing was over used and became­ predictable??The Americans played with Guts and the­ Gutso .They deserved to win .Though the final will be a­ different Affair altogether .Anthony Nasilele Zambia

Well done the septics in stuffing the spaniards, luvly­ jubbly.

The USA team showed the world the truth in the game of­ football. Football is game with no favorite. Bravo to­ them and I wish them luck and a win on sunday!

WOW..... What a performance it was.. Amazing... live­ US... you are the worhty winner of Confe Cup 2009...­ I'm just shocked by performance of US defence &­ strikers... Goal Keeper Howard is priceless for them...­ I'm Brazilian fan wants tht US will win trophy as­ they deserve more thn all other contry........... GO­ US.....

mmswitzer74 As the Britsh invented the Game they can­ call it what they want Spanish and Italians have­ different was of spelling most English Words, think its­ because its not English so is understandable.­

Contrary to what the media and others want you to­ believe, the word “soccer” is not an American creation.­ Or, “They (rest of the world) call it football, and we­ (North Americans) call it soccer.” ;
The word was­ derived from Association Football, which was the­ original term given to the game in the 1860s at the­ elite schools that spawned the sport in England. The­ abbreviation “Assoccer”, which became “soccer,” was­ used by the British upper classes of that period. When­ the sport was embraced by the less fortunate, the name­ of “soccer” was passed down. But most commoners used­ the word “football” to describe their new game. You can­ call it what you want its still the same game!!!!

Im a Korean American I love soccer unfortunately I­ cant­ play myself after I lost my leg from the knee­ down in­ an exploding bake bean can accident. I cant­ afford a­ prosthetic limb so I have to duck tape a­ small stool to­ my stump, not practical for playing­ Soccer.

Way to go­ USA Do it far all Americans Injured­ in Exploding Bean­ can tragedy's

To all the "call it by its REAL­ name--football" folks, here ARE some of its REAL­ names:

If you're an American, it's real name­ is soccer (even though they are in concacaF, not­ concacaS).
If you're a Canadian, it's real name­ is also soccer (even though they are in concacaF, not­ concacaS).
If you're an Italian, it's real name­ is calcio (even though they are in ueFa, not ueCa).
If­ you're a Spaniard, Mexican, Chilean, etc, it's­ real name is futbol (really? with that wierd accent­ mark on the u?).
If you're a Brit, it's real­ name is football (and they even properly belong to­ ueFa, good job! Bonus points for you.).

Different­ countries use different words for the same thing. Why­ is this so hard to understand? If you are still­ confused--and can actually read, look up "American­ and British English differences" on wikipedia. It­ may shock you.

Exciting stuff here in the USA!

The USA can be terrific in a single knock-out match,­ but to win 4 in a row they have not the depth. In 10­ years maybe, if they start having soccer as­ professional sport. But for now, a big THANK YOU!! The­ Spanish press was SO convinced their team was­ unbeatable, with just minor doubts about Brasil being­ perhaps only A FEW steps below Spain. They should be­ reminded that you win tournaments on the pitch, not on­ paper. Thanks for doing the job, USA!!

The USA winning the world cup? Maybe not in 2010, but­ it will happen. I may be hated by my England friends­ for saying this, but I honestly feel that the USA have­ a brigther footballer future than England.

B, well said. I lived in the U.S. for 8 yrs before­ moving back to Europe and have witnessed the same­ develepment of football (soccer) in America. With an­ abundace of talented athletes and superb football­ facilities everywhere, the USA will eventually emerge­ as one of the elite footballing countries. It's­ not if, but when. Some of that potential was shown in­ both the Egypt and Spain matches, particularly from the­ younger players like Onyewu, Altidore, Casey, DeWitt. ­ Big, strong, fast and with excellent technical skills. ­ The more these young players have the opportunity to­ play in Europe, the quicker the USA will reach elite­ status.

it won't be long before USA will win the world cup,­ as soon as the sport takes off over there then were all­ fooked. USA are more likey that England to win the­ world cup

Lets hear what the Spanish will complain about this­ time around, i hear one of their star players­ complained about the vuvuzelas..maybe he is not a star­ after all..because if u are a complete player you have­ to learn to adjust to different­ environments......VUVUZELAZ ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

for real USA has shocked the world!!!! From 0-3 in game­ one to 2-0 in the semis!!!! Hope you can show your­ prowess against South Africa in the finals, well play!

go U S A you did us proud

go U S A you did us proud

well done USA, spain thought football is won in the­ media actually they were given a rude awakening.

In the US soccer (football) is getting big. In the­ last 15 years it has gone from a sport only a few­ played to a normality like football, baseball and­ basketball. Soccer was previously played on existing­ football and baseball fields. Now soccer have their­ own fields all over the place. You almost cannot even­ find a school without a soccer program. After living­ in the UK, Italy, Spain and Portugal over the past 10­ years, I was extremely surprised how big soccer is in­ the US now. The tide has shifted and soccer is­ becoming more of a past time. In 10 years, the US is­ will be a consummate top 10 team...Put your money on­ it....
