U.S. Topples Spain, 2-0

By JEFFREY MARCUS

The best team in the world, Spain, who plays with so much style and panache, was as stunned as those of us watching the Confederations Cup semifinal today. The United States, who had struggled to put together quality soccer and maximum effort, earned a stunning 2-0 victory. A world-class goal by Jozy Altidore and all-universe goalkeeping by Tim Howard gave the Americans their best victory since defeating Portugal, 3-2, in the first game of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea.

The win was also reminiscent of the 1998 U.S. win over Brazil, 1-0, in the 1998 Gold Cup.
