The U.S. defeated Spain today in the Confederations Cup Semi-Final. They won 2-0 on goals by Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey. Altidore is only 19 years old and muscled an impressive goal in the first half to put the U.S. up by one over a team the hadnt been scored on for over 400 minutes of play. This is one of the biggest wins the U.S. has ever earned on the soccer field.

They will face either Brazil or South Africa in the finals on Sunday. The 2010 World Cup starts next summer, and if the U.S. can play like they did today in it they have a chance to finish well.
